Hardy Injury, Roberts Leadership, and Rising Stars | Missouri Tigers Football News

Mizzou’s coach Eli Drinkwitz dropped some big updates after scrimmage — including injury news on running back Ahmad Hardy, which fans are already watching closely. But there’s also bright spots: Jamal Roberts has been named team captain and is stepping into a bigger offensive role with Hardy sidelined. Drinkwitz also praised standout improvements from Austin Simmons, Whit Hafer, Jack Lange on offense, and defensive ends Smith and Hopkins on defense. A few other players picked up minor injuries, but freshmen Jabari Brady and Ellison, plus transfers Simpson and Hoffman, are all working their way back and ready to contribute. Overall, the team’s chemistry and development are trending upward as they gear up for the season. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
