Missouri has permanently suspended running back Derrick Washington in the wake of his recent assault charge. According to Dave Matter of the Columbia Tribune, Washington's Missouri career is over.
Looks like it's safe to release Washington at this point. Expect Kendial Lawrence to get first crack at the starting gig, but keep an eye on true freshman Henry Josey. The Tigers don't have a particularly challenging non-conference schedule, so they'll try to get the rotation figured out by the time conference play kicks off.
