University of Missouri football coach Eliah Drinkwitz has announced that star running back Ahmad Hardy will return to practice this week.
Coach Drinkwitz made Sunday afternoon’s announcement on Twitter, saying they consulted with their medical team.
Hardy has been recovering from a May gunshot wound at a Mississippi concert. Coach Drinkwitz says Mizzou’s medical staff will determine Hardy’s return to game action.

Hardy set Mizzou’s Mizzou single-season rushing record in 2025, rushing for 1,649 yards.
