Bills Re-Sign Mecole Hardman to Practice Squad Ahead of Finale

Overview

• Buffalo announced on Dec. 30 that Mecole Hardman rejoined the practice squad after being released from the active roster on Dec. 27.
• Hardman first arrived in November and, in his lone game, delivered a 61-yard kickoff return before a punt fumble and calf injury led to injured reserve.
• He was activated for the Week 16 win over the Browns but saw limited special-teams work, then was waived to open a roster spot for tight end Keleki Latu.
• His immediate role is uncertain with Ray Davis entrenched on kick returns and Gabe Davis back in the receiver rotation.
• Fellow midseason addition Brandin Cooks has already contributed, posting six catches for 101 yards against the Eagles, as Buffalo reshapes its receiving group ahead of Sunday’s regular-season finale vs. the Jets.
