Missouri Tigers running back Ahmad Hardy has returned to team practices, nearly six months after he was wounded in a shooting in Mississippi.

Elmira, NY, October 27, 2026 —
Missouri Tigers running back Ahmad Hardy has returned to team practices, nearly six months after he was wounded in a shooting in Mississippi.
The information available confirms Hardy’s return to practice but does not provide a date for his first session back, describe the circumstances of the shooting, or detail the nature of his wounds. It also does not say whether he has been cleared for game action or when he might play again.
A return to practice marks a change in Hardy’s status with the team, but it does not by itself establish his readiness to compete. No details were provided about the extent of his participation in practice, any limitations, or the team’s plans for him.
Hardy is identified as a Missouri running back. The available summary does not provide further information about his role on the team, his playing record, or the effect of his absence. It also does not identify where in Mississippi the shooting occurred or provide information about any investigation or legal proceedings.
For now, the confirmed development is that Hardy is back at team practices after an absence of nearly six months following the shooting. Further details about his recovery, practice workload and potential return to games were not provided.
