Missouri Tigers coach Eli Drinkwitz gives fall camp updates

Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz told reporters that star running back Ahmad Hardy has been medically cleared after recovering from an offseason shooting, but he will not yet practice. Hardy will take part in rehab sessions and walk‑throughs, with a possible status update in about two weeks.

Drinkwitz also welcomed the return of running back Sterling Webb, noting the program will support him through his ongoing court case and integrate him slowly. He addressed a recent Colorado court ruling that could affect Missouri’s ability to add players, describing it as another legal challenge the program must navigate amid a decade of changes ranging from COVID disruptions to NIL and transfer rules.
