Overview
- ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported the Bills signed Mecole Hardman to their 17-man practice squad on Monday, with no elevation to the active roster announced.
- Buffalo’s move comes after a stagnant passing performance in the Dolphins defeat, intensifying scrutiny of the team’s wideout production.
- Hardman, 27, won three Super Bowls with the Chiefs and owns 178 receptions for 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns, plus documented punt and kick return value.
- Coverage frames him as a speed and return specialist suited for gadget usage, with the chance to earn a 53-man roster spot if Buffalo seeks an in-game boost.
- Reporting notes Buffalo previously pursued bigger-name help, including a bid for Jaylen Waddle, as Tyreek Hill publicly predicted Hardman would be a difference maker for Josh Allen.
