Coach Andy Reid doesn't think Hardman's abdominal injury is season-ending and described it as short-term Friday, Herbie Teope of The Kansas City Star reports.
Short-term is relative here, as Hardman already has been placed on injured reserve, but Reid seems optimistic that the fourth-year wide receiver will be back after a minimum four-week IR stint. If Hardman returns at his first available opportunity, he would retake the field Week 15 against Houston on Sunday, Dec. 18.
