Mississippi DE Greg Hardy to be evaluated next week after wreck leads to injured foot

Ole Miss DE Hardy to be evaluated next week

OXFORD, Miss. — Mississippi defensive end Greg Hardy won’t have his injured right foot evaluated by a doctor until next week.

Hardy re-injured his surgically repaired foot in a car crash last weekend and has been wearing a hard boot on it. His status for the start of preseason practice, which begins in two weeks, is uncertain.

The school said Wednesday in a news release no evaluation of Hardy will be made until he is examined next week by Dr. Bob Anderson, of Charlotte, N.C.

Hardy has 18.5 sacks over the last two years despite missing several games.

He was driving with teammate Dexter McCluster on Saturday near Pontotoc, Miss., when another vehicle hit his 2005 Escalade. All involved escaped serious injury.
