Bills' Mecole Hardman: Sticking with Bills
Buffalo signed Hardman to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Hardman more than earned a new deal with the Bills during Saturday's 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to Denver, in which he turned his only catch into a four-yard touchdown on two targets. That score, Hardman's first catch since the 2024 campaign, appeared identical to the walk-off touchdown he logged in Super Bowl LVIII to secure an overtime win for the Chiefs. Hardman also appeared in two-regular season games for Buffalo in 2025, though in that span he failed to secure his only target. His added opportunities versus the Broncos came with all of Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (ACL) and Gabe Davis (ACL) having been placed on IR the week prior. Now, Hardman will get a chance to compete for a depth role this offseason.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Elevated for divisional round
Hardman was elevated from the Bills' practice squad Friday.
Hardman figures to be active for Saturday's divisional-round contest against the Broncos after the team recently lost all three of Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) to season-ending injuries. Hardman would likely see most of his action on special teams as a returner.

Mecole Hardman: Back with Buffalo

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.

Bills' Mecole Hardman: Cleared to play Week 16
Hardman (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Hardman was activated from injured reserve Saturday and has been officially cleared to return from a four-game absence due to a calf injury. The veteran wide receiver is unlikely to be involved on offense but could contribute on special teams as a returner on punts and kickoffs.

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

Hardman has been on injured reserve since Nov. 20, and he's now eligible to return to practice. Once activated, Hardman will operate primarily as an option in the return game for Buffalo.
