Mecole Hardman Jr. Dealing With Sprained Thumb

Mecole Hardman Jr. Dealing With Sprained Thumb

12 months ago

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. (thumb) isn't practicing on Wednesday due to a sprained thumb that he suffered in the Monday night loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. In four games since returning to the Chiefs this year, Hardman has been a non-factor on offense, catching eight passes on 10 targets for 41 yards. He's more of an asset on special teams for Kansas City as kick returner. If the 25-year-old is unable to get cleared to play in Week 12 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, Richie James could be a top candidate to replace him as a kick returner. James was activated from Injured Reserve last Saturday but was inactive on Monday night.
