?It?s not responding the way he wants it to,? Reid said of Hardman.
Clyde Edwards-Helaire (high ankle sprain) & Jody Fortson (elbow) will practice with their teammates today.
We haven’t seen Hardman since Week 9 and it doesn’t sound like we’ll see him again soon. Taylor quoted head coach Andy Reid, who said that Hardman’s injury is “not responding the way he wants it to.” We won’t say there’s no chance we’ll see Hardman for the remainder of the postseason, but this isn’t a ringing endorsement that he’ll be back even for a potential AFC Championship game.
In 2022, Hardman has made 25 receptions on 34 targets for 297 yards and four touchdowns in eight games. As Hardman continues to miss out on the action, expect both Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Kadarius Toney to play complementary roles alongside Travis Kelce and JuJu Smith-Schuster.
