Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman won't be activated off IR, ending season Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman, out with a knee injury since early December, will not be activated off injured reserve and...

JANUARY 22 • KANSASCITY.COM

Finishing year on IR Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Wednesday that Hardman (knee) will not be activated from IR, ruling him out for a return during the playoffs, Adam Teicher of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Hardman's 21-day practice window comes to a close without his being activated, which rules him out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Bills, and a potential Super Bowl appearance should Kansas City advance past Buffalo. He appeared for 12 regular-season games with the Chiefs, securing 12 of 14 targets for 90 yards, while also rushing five times for 62 yards and a score and playing a key role in the return game. Hardman is set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Impact "I haven't made any decisions on that yet," Reid said. "[Hardman has] worked hard to try and get himself back." The return specialist and depth wideout had his 21-day practice window opened Jan. 1, but he's yet to upgrade beyond limited on-field activity. If Kansas City doesn't activate Hardman before his practice window closes, he will have to remain on IR for the rest of the playoffs, including if the Chiefs advance beyond Sunday's home AFC Championship Game against Buffalo.

Chiefs activate defensive back Jaylen Watson from IR for divisional playoff game against Texans

The Chiefs activated Jaylen Watson from injured reserve for their divisional-round playoff game against the Texans

JANUARY 17 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Won't return in divisional round Hardman (knee), who remains on injured reserve, has been ruled out for Saturday's divisional-round contest against the Texans.

Impact The Chiefs designated Hardman for return from injured reserve on Jan. 1, but the wide receiver has yet to progress beyond a limited listing on six ensuing Chiefs injury reports. His window in which to get back on the active roster for the first time since Week 13 also is quickly coming to a close. First, though, Kansas City will need to emerge victorious Saturday in order for Hardman to have a chance to play again this season.

JANUARY 17 • USATODAY.COM

Unlikely to face Houston Hardman (knee) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Texans.

Impact Hardman was placed on injured reserve Dec. 7 due to a knee injury, and it doesn't appear likely that he will be activated from IR ahead of Saturday's playoff bout. If the Chiefs beat the Texans, then Hardman would have an opportunity to be activated from IR for the AFC Championship Game.

Chiefs Announcement Casts Doubt on Status of Key Player for Playoff Game Wide receiver and return specialist Mecole Hardman is still working his way back from injured reserve.

JANUARY 16 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Logs another limited session Hardman (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact The 2019 second-round pick from Georgia was designated to return from injured reserve Jan. 1 and has now opened the Chiefs' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions. Hardman's practice participation Thursday will likely offer the best indication of whether he can return for Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Texans. However, Hardman must still be added to the Chiefs' active roster in order to suit up Saturday, regardless of his practice status Thursday.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited in practice Hardman (knee), who is on injured reserve, was a limited practice participant Tuesday.

Impact Hardman had his practice window opened Jan. 1 and was deemed a limited practice participant throughout Week 18 prep. He wasn't activated ahead of that week's game against Denver and had an extra stretch of rest with the Chiefs holding a first-round playoff bye. Hardman has been on injured reserve since hurting his knee during a practice session in early December.
