Missouri running back Ahmad Hardy is expected to make his season debut on Saturday when the Tigers face Arkansas, marking his return to the field after recovering from a shooting incident in May. The announcement comes as a significant development for the Missouri offense, which has been without the talented back for the first portion of the 2026 campaign.
Hardy, who suffered injuries in the May shooting, has been cleared to play after months of rehabilitation. His return adds depth and playmaking ability to Missouri's backfield ahead of the conference matchup against the Razorbacks. The game is scheduled for Saturday, though a specific kickoff time was not immediately available.
