“The Packers released WR Mecole Hardman from the practice squad,” ESPN beat reporter Rob Demovsky relayed on September 23, as Week 4 kicked off around the NFL. Over the course of his five and a half seasons with the Chiefs, Hardman has racked up over 2,300 receiving yards in the regular season and playoffs combined. Similar to running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire returning on the practice squad in 2025. The lone wideout on the practice squad is undrafted rookie Jimmy Holiday. It’s clear that Kansas City needs these two playmakers back on offense as soon as possible.
