Hardy was waived by the Rams on Tuesday.
The 2022 seventh-round pick out of Montana State began last season on injured reserve and missed the first 11 games of the year. Hardy did appear in the final six games of Los Angeles' campaign, recording four tackles. He'll be on the lookout for a new team ahead of the coming season.

The Rams designated Hardy to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
Hardy suffered an ankle injury during Week 2 of the preseason and was placed on IR ahead of the regular season.

The Rams selected Hardy in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 235th overall.
Hardy was overshadowed by Montana State teammate and second-round pick Troy Andersen, but Hardy evidently caught the eye of the Rams anyway. He posted interesting pro day numbers at 6-foot-2, 235 pounds, making up for a mediocre 4.69-second 40 with memorable numbers in the vertical (40 inches), broad jump (127 inches) and three-cone drill (6.71 seconds).
