Bills Add Mecole Hardman to Practice Squad to Jolt Struggling Pass Game

Buffalo turns to a three-time Chiefs champion to inject experience into a faltering receiver group.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Buffalo signed Mecole Hardman to the practice squad on Monday.
  • The move follows a 30-13 loss to the Dolphins in which receivers struggled to get open despite steady protection for Josh Allen.
  • Hardman is best known for his Chiefs tenure, where he won three Super Bowls and earned a Pro Bowl nod as a returner.
  • Buffalo views him primarily for special teams and gadget packages rather than a full-time receiver role.
  • Hardman spent the 2025 offseason with the Packers before being released, and he has 178 career receptions for just over 2,300 yards and 16 touchdowns.
