Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman did not take the practice field for the second straight day on Friday. Hardman has been dealing with what the team has previously described as an abdomen illness and injury.
After what sounded like slight optimism regarding Hardman’s status earlier in the week, head coach Andy Reid dialed it back when he spoke to the media in his final press conference leading into the Week 17 game against the Denver Broncos.
“Mecole will not play; he’ll be out,” said Reid. “He had a setback on Wednesday and just isn't ready yet, so we’ll keep bringing him along, see how he does.
