Bills Make Roster Decision Before Buccaneers Game

The Buffalo Bills suffered an upset defeat to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.

They were 6-2 entering the game and lost 30-13 to a team that was 2-7 coming in.

That loss snapped a two-game winning streak, and all that matters for Josh Allen's squad is to bounce back. The Bills will get a chance at doing so against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next Sunday.

On Monday, though, the Bills made a roster decision with the injury to their second-leading pass catcher in tight end Dalton Kincaid.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Bills are signing wide receiver Mecole Hardman to their practice squad.

Hardman was drafted in the second round by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019. He spent several seasons there before moving on to the New York Jets.

He only played five games for the Jets before returning to the Chiefs to catch the Super Bowl-winning touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers.

Hardman then signed a one-year contract in March with the Green Bay Packers but in August, they released him. He was on their practice squad until Sept. 23 and then released again.

Hardman has been a free agent since then.

In his career, he's totaled 178 receptions, 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns.
