Mecole Hardman

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said there’s a “chance” Mecole Hardman (knee) could return for the playoffs.

Hardman was placed on injured reserve in early December after reports that his knee “locked up” in practice ahead of Week 14’s game against the Chargers. Hardman has caught 12 passes for 90 yards this season while also serving as the team’s primary punt returner before his injury. He’s eligible to return off injured reserve for Week 18’s game against the Broncos.
