Anyone looking for an update on Mississippi State's quarterback situation won't find it in this week's depth chart.

Blake Shapen remains listed as the Bulldogs' starting quarterback and Luke Krommenhoek and Kamario Taylor are listed as the No. 2 quarterbacks.

Shapen's availability for Saturday's game at newly-unranked Missouri is up in the air. He left last week's game against Georgia early in the second half and did not return. Taylor, a true freshman quarterback, played the remainder of the game.

On Monday, Mississippi State coach Jeff Lebby said Shapen did not practice and his status will be evaluated throughout the week. But Lebby did say if he's healthy, Shapen will start.

"If he's healthy, truly healthy, he'll start," Lebby said Monday about Shapen. "It's all about him being healthy. So again, as we evaluate this thing and move through it, we'll see exactly where we're at."

Fans looking for hard news on the quarterback situation will have to wait until Wednesday's initial Student-Athlete Availability Report. For now, here's the official depth chart for Mississippi State as it prepares to face Missouri.
