Bills Place Mecole Hardman on Injured Reserve After One Game
The designation guarantees a four-game absence that intensifies Buffalo's thin pass-catching group.
Overview
- Buffalo announced the move Thursday before Week 12 against the Texans, and the game counts toward the four-game minimum.
- Hardman sustained a calf injury in his Week 11 debut, finishing with one target and no receptions.
- He joined the practice squad on Nov. 10 and was promoted to the active roster on Nov. 15.
- Tight end Dalton Kincaid remains sidelined by a hamstring injury for a second consecutive week.
- With no trade additions at the deadline, increased responsibility falls to Khalil Shakir and other role players including Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers.
