Hardman’s Early Errors Put Roster Spot at Risk

He must deliver strong performances in the final two preseason games to secure his one-year deal

Overview

  • He fielded a punt at the 5-yard line, muffed a bouncing punt and dropped a pass during the Packers’ 30-10 preseason loss to the Jets.
  • Head coach Matt LaFleur and Hardman both admitted he made "two bad decisions" that pinned the offense deep and led to a defensive touchdown.
  • Signed to a one-year, $1.5 million contract, Hardman is competing for backup receiver and primary return duties on a deep Green Bay roster.
  • Special teams coach Rich Bisaccia said Hardman has shown promise in practice and expects him to respond positively in coming sessions.
  • He has two joint practices and two preseason games left to prove his value before final roster cuts.
