Overview

• The move was recorded on the team transaction wire on September 24, making Hardman an unrestricted free agent.
• Green Bay signed undrafted rookie Jakobie Keeney-James to the practice squad and promoted offensive tackle Brant Banks to the 53-man roster.
• Hardman joined the Packers on a one-year deal in March, was cut at final roster reductions, and remained on the practice squad without a game-day elevation through Week 3.
• His stint featured a poor preseason opener with a dropped pass and a mishandled punt plus limited production of three catches for 30 yards across three games.
• Emerging roles for rookies Matthew Golden and Savion Williams reduced his pathway to snaps, with Christian Watson’s pending PUP activation window potentially narrowing it further.
