Mecole Hardman: Dropped by Buffalo
Hardman was waived by the Bills on Saturday.
Hardman was picked up by the Bills in early November and appeared in just two games prior to being waived, recording 61 kick-return yards and four punt-return yards. Now a free agent, the 2019 second-round pick from Georgia could catch on with a team in need of a return man.

Hardman (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Activated from IR, still Q
The Bills activated Hardman (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, and he remains questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Hardman is now eligible to play in Week 16, but the final word on his status may not arrive until roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If cleared to suit up versus Cleveland, expect Hardman to handle a depth role at wide receiver and in the return game.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Could return Sunday
Hardman (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
Hardman returned to practice this week and logged full sessions Thursday and Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. However, he must still be added to the Bills' active roster in order to suit up Week 16. If the 27-year-old remains sidelined Sunday, expect Khalil Shakir to handle Buffalo's punt-return duties.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Practice window opens
Hardman (calf) was designated to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
The veteran wideout from Georgia has been sidelined for the Bills' last four games after sustaining a calf injury in the Week 11 win over the Buccaneers, but it now appears he's nearing a return. Hardman will likely contribute as one of Buffalo's top kick and punt returners once fully healthy, though he must still be activated to the team's active roster in order to suit up for the Week 16 matchup against the Browns.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Nearing return to practice
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Hardman (calf) could have his 21-day practice window opened this week, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Lands on IR
Hardman (calf) was placed on IR by the Bills on Thursday.
Hardman thus is slated to miss at least four games, meaning that he won't play again before Sunday, Dec. 21 against the Browns. His looming absence represents both a hit to Buffalo's depth at wideout as well as the team's return game, but at this stage Hardman is well off the fantasy lineup radar.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Out for Week 12
Hardman (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Texans.
The Georgia product made his 2025 debut in Buffalo's Week 11 win over the Buccaneers, recording 61 kick-return yards while playing 11 total snaps (seven on special teams, four on offense). However, he was unable to practice all week due to a calf injury and is now in line to miss Thursday night's contest. While Hardman is out in Week 12, expect Ty Johnson and Ray Davis to serve as the Bills' top kick returners.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Not practicing Tuesday
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that Hardman (calf) won't participate in Tuesday's walk-through practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
With no on-field activity so far this week, Hardman's availability for Thursday's game against the Texans would appear to be in jeopardy. After the Bills signed him off the practice squad this past week, Hardman failed to haul in his lone target in Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers but ran back his lone kickoff return for 61 yards prior to exiting with the calf issue. Ray Davis -- who returned four kickoffs for 158 yards Sunday -- would be a candidate to step in as the Bills' top return man if Hardman can't play Week 12, and Brandon Codrington could also be promoted from the practice squad to help out on returns.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Signed to Buffalo's active roster
The Bills signed Hardman from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Hardman landed on the Bills' practice squad this past Monday, nearly two months after being let go by the Packers. He'll now be a member of Buffalo's active roster and will give the team another option as a returner on special teams and at wide receiver. Hardman appeared in 12 regular-season games for the Chiefs in 2024 and logged 12 catches (on 14 targets) for 90 yards along with five carries for 62 yards and a score. He also turned five kickoff returns into 132 yards and 20 punt returns into 203 yards.
