Mecole Hardman Injury: Nearing return to practice

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Hardman (calf) could have his 21-day practice window opened this week, Chris Brown of the Bills Radio Network reports.

Hardman has been on injured reserve since Nov. 20, and he's now eligible to return to practice. Once activated, Hardman will operate primarily as an option in the return game for Buffalo.
