Chiefs HC Andy Reid says there’s a chance Mecole Hardman returns in Week 15

Kansas City Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman remains on injured reserve with an abdomen injury and won’t play in Week 14 against the Denver Broncos. Hardman is not eligible to be designated to return from injured reserve until the team’s Week 15 game against the Houston Texans when four games have elapsed. At that point, the team can open his 21-day practice window and at any point during that window they can activate him to the 53-man roster.

While Hardman is not yet able to return to practice and play, he does seem to be making progress. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Chiefs HC Andy Reid shared a positive update on Hardman’s status, suggesting that he could be ready to return from injured reserve at the earliest possible juncture.
