Mecole Hardman: Breaking News

Buffalo signed Hardman to a reserve/future contract Monday. Hardman more than earned a new deal with the Bills during Saturday's 33-30 divisional-round overtime loss to Denver, in which he turned his only catch into a four-yard touchdown on two targets. That score, Hardman's first catch since the 2024 campaign, appeared identical to the walk-off touchdown he logged in Super Bowl LVIII to secure an overtime win for the Chiefs. Hardman also appeared in two-regular season games for Buffalo in 2025, though in that span he failed to secure his only target. His added opportunities versus the Broncos came with all of Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (ACL) and Gabe Davis (ACL) having been placed on IR the week prior. Now, Hardman will get a chance to compete for a depth role this offseason.

Hardman was elevated from the Bills' practice squad Friday. Hardman figures to be active for Saturday's divisional-round contest against the Broncos after the team recently lost all three of Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) to season-ending injuries. Hardman would likely see most of his action on special teams as a returner.

Hardman signed with the Bills' practice squad Tuesday. Buffalo cut Hardman over the weekend after he appeared in a pair of games with the Bills. He failed to secure his lone target in the passing game and returned one kickoff for 61 yards and a pair of punts for four yards.
