It looks like the Kansas City Chiefs will enter Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills without wide receiver Mecole Hardman, who caught the game-winning touchdown catch that ended Super Bowl LVIII last February.
“We’ll probably put him back on IR,” head coach Andy Reid said of Hardman on Wednesday, which was the deadline for activating him to the 53-man roster. Without that roster move, he’ll remain on IR for the rest of the season.
The Chiefs will likely be able to do just fine without the sixth-year veteran, who got another chance to stay with his original team after its new free-agent wideout Hollywood Brown was injured during the preseason.
