Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy is “doing really good” after suffering a gunshot wound to his leg on May 10, according to Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz. He spoke with On3’s Pete Nakos on Tuesday at the SEC spring meetings and provided an update on Hardy.
“Doing really good, back in Colombia,” Drinkwitz said. “Has been rehabbing in our facility every morning at 9 a.m. We’re a long way away from knowing what the football side of it will be, but from a overall health, just fine. There’s not a lot of return to play protocols with this particular injury, so we’ll have to carry that out as we get back.”

Hardy underwent surgery following the incident and was discharged from the hospital shortly after. He was one of the best running backs in the country last year for the Tigers, leading the SEC in rushing yards with 1,649 yards and 16 touchdowns. He was named the SEC Newcomer of the Year after transferring in from Louisiana-Monroe and made the All-SEC First-Team.
Drinkwitz added that he expects to know more about Hardy’s recovery “around SEC media days,” which will be held on July 20-23 in Tampa, Florida.
