Bills Bolster Practice Squad with Veteran WR Mecole Hardman

The Buffalo Bills announced Tuesday they have signed wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. to their practice squad. Hardman, who most recently was on the Green Bay Packers’ practice squad at the start of the 2025 season before being released on September 23rd, has not played in a game this year and remained a free agent until now, having also worked out for the Raiders. A 2019 second-round pick by the Kansas City Chiefs, Hardman spent four years in Kansas City, catching 151 passes and contributing as a punt and kickoff returner. After signing with the Jets in 2023, he saw limited action before being traded back to the Chiefs, where he notably caught the game-winning touchdown in the Super Bowl at the end of that season. He remained with the Chiefs in 2024, playing sparingly. In corresponding moves, the Bills released wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson and defensive end Kingsley Jonathan from the practice squad and placed defensive end Landon Jackson on injured reserve.
