After missing three-games with a strained right knee, Mizzou offensive lineman Elvis Fisher is expected to return this weekend against Vanderbilt.

Coach Gary Pinkel has Fisher atop the depth chart but the coach added, he's not sure how long Elvis will play.

Fisher injured his knee on September 8 against Georgia in a pile-up. Monday, Fisher was seen wearing a knee brace.

Doctors told Fisher his recovery time would be around four weeks; no surgery needed.

WIth a healthy Fisher, Mizzou could have four, first-string linemen starting Saturday for the first time this season.

Jack Meiners is listed "questionable" with a bruised knee; like Fisher, Meiners is expected to play.

Fisher missed the entire 2011 season after tearing his left A.C.L. during the preseason. Fisher started every game from 2008-10.
