Unlikely to return Saturday
Hardy is doubtful to return to Saturday's preseason game against the Giants due to a shoulder injury.
ANALYSIS
Hardy suffered the injury during a punt return and will undergo X-rays to determine the severity of the injury. The rookie sixth-rounder is competing for a depth spot at corner on the Bills' 53-man roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Pushing for return man job
Per Kyle Silagyi of SI.com, Hardy is making a push to begin the regular season as Buffalo's top punt returner after notching 63 yards on five punt returns in Saturday's 9-3 preseason win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
After wide receiver K.J. Hamler returned punts for the Bills in the preseason opener against the Bears, Hardy got his chance in the role Saturday and looked effective, nearly breaking off a couple of long returns. Whichever one of Hardy or Hamler returns punts in the preseason finale against the Panthers will presumably be the favorite to begin the regular season as Buffalo's primary punt returner, but Hardy is likely to make the 53-man roster as a depth cornerback even if the 2024 sixth-round draft pick loses this position battle on special teams.
