It’s a 1-year deal for the #Jets and Mecole Hardman, with a chance to make $6.5M, source said. (Ian Rapoport on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The free agent market is substantially different this season. A lot of one-year deals are being made at the running back and wide receiver position. Hardman is the latest and should give the Jets a nice speed element to their offense after bringing in former Packers' wideout Allen Lazard. Hardman missed half the 2022 season with a groin injury and had surgery on February 21st. He's expected to be catching passes this season from Aaron Rodgers.

 Mecole Hardman has surgery on groin
Free agent in 2023

#Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman had successful groin repair surgery with Dr. William Meyers in Philadelphia this morning, per source. It cleared up the issue he was dealing with this past season. An intriguing free agent-to-be. (Tom Pelissero on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Hardman dealt with a groin injury the second half of the 2022 season and will now be a free agent heading into 2023, which is a weak class for wide receivers. He should be healed well before for training camp.

Chiefs final injury report is bone dry
Super Bowl LVII

Chiefs are not listing any players with any game injury designations for SBLVII. All players good to go. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: This is laughable considering Patrick Mahomes is dealing with a high ankle sprain and no less than three of Kansas City receivers were injured in the AFC Championship game. Mecole Hardman in on the IR and doesn't need to be listed but JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are expected to play despite their aliments. How much their injuries bother them in Super Bowl LVII, if at all, is anyone's guess.

Chiefs activate Clyde Edwards-Helaire from IR
Mecole Hardman Out for Super Bowl LVII

Chiefs activated RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire from Reserve/Injured.
They also placed WR Mecole Hardman on Reserve/Injured. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs have been quiet regarding the exact nature of Hardman's pelvic injury which has bothered him ever since Week 9. He aggravated the injury trying to play in the AFC Championship game and will now miss the Super Bowl. JuJu Smith-Schuster is bothered by a knee injury and remains Questionable. It doesn't seem likely that CEH will have any kind of significant role behind Isiah Pacheco and Jerick McKinnon even is he is active on gameday.

Injury update on Chiefs wide receivers
Mecole Hardman unlikely to play
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Feb 2, 1:03 pm

Reid was particularly optimistic that among the injured players Kadarius Toney and JuJu Smith-Schuster would be able to play in the Super Bowl. On JuJu, Reid said, "He's in a good place." Reid was not optimistic about Mecole Hardman. "I doubt he'll make the Super Bowl." (Adam Teicher on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It sounds like Hardman is likely to be on the Inactive list for Super Bowl but Toney and JuJu have a decent shot of playing. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore and Justin Watson - who missed last week due to illness - are likely to be in the mix as well. It's almost impossible to predict with accuracy the wide receiver distribution on any given week for the Chiefs.

Travis Kelce added to injury report, Mahomes not listed
Back injury for Kelce
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Jan 27, 4:02 pm

The Chiefs added Travis Kelce to their injury report with a back injury and listed him as questionable for Sunday's game. Mecole Hardman and Justin Watson (illness) are also questionable.
Patrick Mahomes has no injury designation, so he's good to go. (Adam Teicher on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Despite his absence from the report, Mahomes will be bothered by his ankle sprain suffered in last week's game against Jacksonville. How much it will hamper his mobility is the big question. Kelce did practice fully on Friday and there's been no indication that he's in danger of missing this game.
