COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- Tony Temple, Missouri's starting running back last season, was carted off the practice field Tuesday with an apparent right knee injury after colliding with another player.

 

The injury happened shortly before the morning workout ended. Temple jumped to catch a pass during 11-on-11 drills when he was sandwiched between two defenders.

 

Temple cried out in pain and did not return after being carted off. Coach Gary Pinkel did not have any immediate information about the injury or whether Temple would be sidelined.

 

Also injured Tuesday was Hardy Ricks, a sophomore cornerback who started eight games in 2006. Pinkel said he suffered a separated shoulder diving for a pass and will undergo an MRI.

 

Temple, a 5-9, 200-pound senior from Kansas City, started 12 games last season for the 8-5 Tigers, rushing for 1,063 yards. He ran for 194 yards and two touchdowns in a Sun Bowl loss to Oregon State.
