KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Chiefs activated wide receiver Mecole Hardman from injured reserve Wednesday, making him eligible to play in Saturday's final regular season game against the Las Vegas Raiders and in the playoffs.
The Chiefs have played without Hardman since a Week 9 game against the Tennessee Titans. He was listed the following week on their practice report with an abdominal injury and went on injured reserve after that.
He began practicing last month and the Chiefs faced a deadline Wednesday of either activating Hardman or leaving him on injured reserve for the rest of the season.
