All-American running back Ahmad Hardy has been discharged from a Mississippi hospital after a weekend shooting

Ahmad Hardy - Released from hospital Hardy (leg) was released from the hospital after he underwent surgery after suffering a gunshot wound at concert, per Pete Thamel of ESPN.com.

Impact Hardy will reportedly head back to Missouri's campus, where he plans to begin rehab immediately with the goal of playing in 2026. Given that he suffered the wound to his leg, and that it required surgery, the running back could feasibly be in line to miss a significant amount of time, though no timetable currently exists for a potential return. Hardy was in line to be the Tigers' top halfback once again this fall.

Ahmad Hardy - Surgery following shooting Hardy was the victim of a shooting at a concert in Mississippi on Sunday and is in stable condition following surgery, David Ubben of The Athletic reports.

Impact Unfortunately for Hardy, his offseason has gone from normal to far from pleasant, as the shooting has rendered him out indefinitely. Without a return timeline, there is at least a slight possibility that Missouri's team enters its summer workouts and fall camp without the running back, who transferred to Mizzou in 2025. Hardy more than acclimated to his new setting, somehow logging more than his 2024 tallies of 1,351 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns by recording 1,649 yards and 16 TDs respectively.

DaMarion Fowlkes - In competition for WR4 Fowlkes is set to compete for Missouri's WR4 role for 2026, Cody Goodwin of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact With the trio of Donovan Olugbode, Caleb Goodie and Cayden Lee lined up to be Missouri's primary trio of wideouts, the Tigers need a WR4, with Fowlkes and Shaun Terry the position's primary contenders. Last season saw Fowlkes log zero targets, with his lone stat a five-yard carry.

Shaun Terry II - Set to compete for WR4 role Terry is set to compete for Missouri's WR4 role for 2026, Cody Goodwin of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Missouri's team needs a fourth wideout to work behind the primary trio of Donovan Olugbode, Caleb Goodie and Cayden Lee. It looks like Terry and Fowlkes are the Tigers' primary contenders for their WR4 position. In 2025, Terry caught his lone target for nine yards.

Kenric Lanier II - Set to carve out backup slot reps Lanier is set to handle some snaps as a backup slot receiver for Missouri this fall, per the Columbia Daily Tribune.

Impact It's a crowded slot position for Missouri, with DeMarion Fowlkes and Shaun Terry both also vying for slot reps. Still, Lanier should manage to get on the field this fall, and build on the three catches for 79 yards he logged last season at Minnesota.

Sam Horn - Not spotted at spring practice Horn (leg) wasn't spotted at Missouri's spring practices, although the quarterback is still listed on the Tigers' 2026 roster, per 247Sports.

Impact Horn was shut down for the 2025 season early on after he hurt his leg in Week 1 against Central Arkansas and proceeded to undergo surgery for a fractured tibia. The quarterback remains on Missouri's roster, but he wasn't a part of spring practices and doesn't look to be featured in this Tigers' offense in any way.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Brett Norfleet - Should be full-go by fall camp Norfleet (shoulder) remains limited for Missouri but is expected to be full-g by fall camp, per the Columbia Daily Tribune.

Impact Norfleet still isn't a full participant with the Tigers, but given that he's expected to heal by fall camp, this isn't an injury that should cause too much concern for fantasy managers. The tight end caught 31 passes for 254 yards and five touchdowns last fall.

Matt Zollers - Loses out on starting QB gig Zollers has lost Missouri's quarterback competition to Austin Simmons, per Eli Hoff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Impact Zollers was reportedly battling the Ole Miss transfer Simmons for the Tigers' starting quarterback gig, but he's lost out on the job at the conclusion of Missouri's spring practice period. He showed flashes last season as a true freshman, tossing for 503 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions in limited action, but he'll have to wait a little longer to earn his first collegiate starting role. He's now likely slated to be Missouri's QB2.
