Chiefs' Mecole Hardman: Could return next week

Hardman (abdomen) isn't expected to be activated off injured reserve prior to Sunday's game at Houston, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Kadarius Toney (hamstring) is expected to make his return after a three-game absence, meaning the Chiefs should have a capable trio of wideouts ready to go this weekend even while Hardman remains out. The speedy receiver hasn't played since injuring his abdomen back in Week 9, but Schefter believes he could make his return Week 16 against the Seahawks.
