Visits practice, still not active Hardy (leg) visited a recent practice but is not an active participant in Missouri's fall camp, Calum McAndrew of the Columbia Daily Tribune reports.

Impact Hardy's visit to a recent Missouri practice suggests the running back may be ready to return to the team after a May shooting that has kept him out in the meantime. He is still at least a few weeks away from contact, and his status remains questionable going into Week 1, which will see the Tigers host Arkansas-Pine Bluff in a Thursday night game on Sept. 3. Having Hardy then may not be needed, but it would give the Tigers their best running back to work with right off the gate.

Impact Hardy was the victim of a shooting at a concert in Mississippi in May, and while he's been medically cleared to play, he needs to get into shape to play. According to Drinkwitz, that will take around five to eight weeks, meaning he could be available for the season opener against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Sep. 3 in a best-case scenario, but it wouldn't be surprising if he misses a game or two. A return to play around mid-September, potentially to face Troy on Sep. 19 or Mississippi State on Sep. 26, could be a more realistic scenario. If Hardy isn't ready for the opener, then Jamal Roberts, Xai'Shaun Edwards and Malae Fonoti would be options to get more work in the Tigers' backfield.

Begins rehab following surgery Hardy is beginning rehabilitation in Columbia after undergoing surgery for a gunshot wound to his leg, per a team video message.

Impact Hardy is taking steps toward recovery with the goal of returning to the field for the 2026 season after being released from the hospital earlier this week following the incident. While he was expected to be Missouri's lead running back, his timeline for return remains uncertain, given the severity of the injury and required surgery. This represents a significant loss for the Tigers' offense as they prepare for the upcoming season.
