Signs with Denver Hardy signed a contract with the Broncos on Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Hardy was expected to sign with the Eagles in July, but the team ultimately decided against bringing him on. However, after trying out for both the Broncos and Steelers over the past week, the undrafted running back has found himself back on an NFL roster. Hardy was elevated from Dallas' practice squad for three games during his 2021 rookie season, totaling four rushes for 29 yards and one touchdown over eight offensive snaps. He, along with fellow recently signed running back Stevie Scott, will likely operate as emergency options during Denver's preseason contest against the Cowboys on Saturday.

Impact Hardy tested positive for the virus and wasn't elevated for Sunday's blowout win over Washington. However, the soon-to-be 24-year-old has cleared protocols and will be eligible for his third elevation of the season.

Placed in COVID protocol Hardy (illness) was placed on the practice squad COVID-19 list Thursday.

Rejoins practice squad Hardy reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.

Impact Hardy logged 14 snaps on special teams during Sunday's victory over the Giants. He's been elevated to the active roster in each of his team's last two contests but has only one carry for three yards which came in Week 14 against Washington.

Joins active roster Hardy was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.

Impact The move puts into question the status of Tony Pollard, who is currently listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to a foot injury. Hardy was elevated the week prior with Pollard sidelined and saw just two offensive snaps with Ezekiel Elliott and Corey Clement taking the lion's share of the backfield opportunities.

Bumped from roster Hardy reverted to Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Hardy was elevated for the team's Week 14 matchup against Washington due to the absence of Tony Pollard (foot). Hardy saw only two offensive snaps but earned one rushing attempt. His more substantial role came on special teams, which was highlighted by one kick return for 15 yards.

Elevated for Week 14 Hardy was elevated from Dallas' practice squad Saturday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Hardy was waived by the Cowboys at the end of August and has spent the entirety of the season on the team's practice squad. The move likely indicates that Dallas will be without No. 2 running back Tony Pollard (foot) Sunday against Washington, meaning Hardy should figure in as the team's third option behind Ezekiel Elliott and Corey Clement. Hardy, an undrafted rookie, rushed for 1,554 yards on 204 carries in his senior season with the Tiffin University Dragons.

DECEMBER 11, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to waivers The Cowboys waived Hardy on Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Hardy was competing with fellow UDFA Brenden Knox for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart behind Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard. He will likely land on Dallas' practice squad if he clears waivers unclaimed.

Impact Hardy has 17 carries for 51 yards through the first three exhibition contests, and it appears he'll receive a longer look in the final preseason game. Hardy and Knox, both of whom are rookie UDFAs, are fighting to replace Rico Dowdle (hip) as the No. 3 running back for Dallas behind Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard.
