Removed from NFI list Hardy (illness) was removed from the Saints' active/non-football injury list Friday after passing his physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Hardy is now clear to participate in training camp practices and preseason games as he he looks to make a case for a spot on the Saints' 53-man roster for the 2026 season. He signed with New Orleans as an undrafted free agent in late April following his final college season at North Carolina, when he mostly contributed as a run blocker and finished with six catches for 83 yards and two touchdowns across five games.

Placed on non-football illness list The Saints placed Hardy (illness) on the active/non-football illness list Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Hardy is an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina State. If the tight end cannot get back to his peak physical condition, it is unlikely he will be able to compete with third-round rookie Oscar Delp or Moliki Matavao for the No. 3 tight end spot.
