COLUMBIA, Mo. • It’s uncertain if Missouri defensive lineman Harold Brantley will play this season for the Tigers, but after being pulled from his mangled, overturned car Sunday, Brantley is expected to make a full recovery. The defensive tackle from Hershey, Pa. , suffered a broken leg, knee ligament damage and broken ribs in Sunday’s car accident in Columbia, Mizzou spokesman Chad Moller confirmed Monday. Brantley’s medical condition was upgraded from serious to good at University Hospital. Brantley broke his left tibia and had surgery Sunday night. Missouri’s medical staff is unsure when Brantley will be cleared to play football. Missouri women’s basketball player Maddie Stock was a passenger in Brantley’s car and was also hospitalized Sunday. Brantley, 21, the only returning starter along Mizzou’s defensive line, was the driver in a one-car accident along U. S. 63 at 1:55 p. m. , according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. According to the accident report, Brantley was driving a 2000 Chrysler Concorde that traveled off the left side of the road. Source: www.stltoday.com
