BRIAN BATTIE NEWS

Due for year of intensive rehab Battie (head) has at least "a year of intensive rehab" ahead of him as he continues to recover from a shooting on May 18, Richard Silva of The Montgomery Advertiser reports.

Impact Back on May 18, Battie was a victim of a Florida shooting, which resulted in him getting a gunshot wound to the head and his older brother's death. The younger Battie was cleared to eat regularly on June 24 and began using a cane on July 16, both significant developments. Determined for a full recovery, he will likely undergo at least a year of intensive rehab to be 100 percent again. A whole year will require Battie to sit out Auburn's 2024 season.
