Daequan Hardy: Everything you need to know

Hardy (shoulder) recorded four total tackles (two solo) in Saturday's 23-19 preseason win over the Buccaneers. Hardy returned to action after suffering a shoulder injury in the Bills' preseason opener against the Giants. The cornerback played all 57 of the team's defensive snaps in the contest, while also adding six snaps with the special-teams unit. Hardy remains an unlikely candidate to stick around the initial 53-man roster in Buffalo, but he certainly could join the team's practice squad in 2025.

Hardy is doubtful to return to Saturday's preseason game against the Giants due to a shoulder injury. Hardy suffered the injury during a punt return and will undergo X-rays to determine the severity of the injury. The rookie sixth-rounder is competing for a depth spot at corner on the Bills' 53-man roster.
