Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy is set to practice for the first time since being shot at a concert in May. Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz announced the development on Sunday, stating that medical staff will determine when Hardy can return to game action. Drinkwitz previously emphasized the need for two weeks of full-speed practice before considering game participation.
The junior from Mississippi, who rushed for 1,649 yards and 16 touchdowns last season, was struck by a bullet in Mississippi. In his absence, Jamal Roberts has led the SEC with 123.86 rushing yards per game. Missouri faces Arkansas this Saturday before a challenging stretch against No. 11 Texas, No. 3 Georgia, and No. 9 Kentucky.
The team is currently 5-2, with both losses in SEC play.
