Missouri Football Fall Camp Practice Report: Day 9

In this story:
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri Tigers hit the practice field again Thursday during week 2 of fall camp. There was some more special teams drills today but also some exciting plays from the receivers.
Here are MissouriOnSI's notes and observations from Thursday's allotted practice viewing:
• Blake Craig went 4-for-4 on kicks in an early session at increasing distances. Nick Quadrini went 1-for-2.
• Theo Wease had an on-brand catch beautifully placed over his shoulder from Brady Cook. Wease did a great job of tracking it with Shmar McNeil in coverage, prompting a very enthusiastic "nice" scream from receivers coach Jacob Peeler.
• James Madison had a nice catch on the rep after on the same deep route to the endzone with Jaren Sensabaugh in coverage.
• True freshman Jude James was used as a fullback, possibly h-back, during a goaline drill. Ran in for a touchdown.
• Safety Isaac Thompson, on a medical redshirt, was out at practice in street clothes as head coach Eli Drinkwitz indicated at the start of fall camp.
• On the kickoff or "sharks" team: Jackson Hancock, Dreydon Norwood, Daylan Carnell, Phillip Roche, Darris Smith, Joseph Charleston, Tre'Vez Johnson and Corey Flagg Jr. along with one other gunner I missed.
