Missouri star running back Ahmad Hardy will not play in the Tigers' season opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on September 3. Head coach Eli Drinkwitz confirmed that Hardy, who suffered a gunshot wound to the upper leg in May, is not yet ready to practice at full speed. The team is targeting a mid-September return for Hardy, but Drinkwitz did not provide a specific date. Hardy led the SEC in rushing yards last season and is a preseason all-conference and All-American pick for the 2026 campaign.
