Chiefs vs. 49ers: WR Mecole Hardman zooms past defenders for touchdown

Check out this video of #Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman’s impressive touchdown against the #49ers in Week 7.

The Kansas City Chiefs are well on their way to earning their sixth win of the 2024 regular season against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7.

Both the Chiefs and 49ers’ offenses struggled for the majority of Sunday’s game, but Kansas City got creative to find ways to score and extend their lead.

After a powerful touchdown run by quarterback Patrick Mahomes that gave the Chiefs a two-score lead, head coach Andy Reid decided to utilize his receiving corps to tighten Kansas City’s grip on San Francisco.

With just over three minutes to go in the fourth quarter, wide receiver Mecole Hardman found the endzone on a jet sweep from the Chiefs’ 18-yard line.

If Kansas City can hold on to win this game, the Chiefs will be the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL.

Chiefs vs. 49ers: Mecole Hardman impresses with outstanding punt return

Take a look at this video of #Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman’s outstanding punt return against the San Francisco #49ers in Week 7.

Mecole Hardman was a hero in the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers back in February, and with a Super Bowl LVIII rematch playing out at Levi’s Stadium this afternoon, the veteran wideout was keen to make his presence felt in Week 7.

Hardman caught one pass for 17 yards in the first half, but his most impressive effort came on a punt return in the second quarter that gave Kansas City’s offense favorable field position to extend its slim lead.

Take a look at Hardman’s outstanding return in this video, which was posted to Twitter by the NFL’s official account:

 

With JuJu Smith-Schuster listed as questionable to return due to a hamstring injury, expect Hardman to continue putting on a show as he looks to earn a greater role in Andy Reid’s offense heading into Week 8.

Stay tuned to see if Hardman can find paydirt against the 49ers later in the game.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to take on the San Francisco 49ers in a Week 7 Super Bowl LVIII rematch at Levi’s Stadium. Kansas City has won four of its last five meetings against San Francisco, but the Chiefs will need to avoid a slow start out West to avoid a loss after their bye in Week 6.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid comments on potential deadline trade for a wide receiver

Kansas City #Chiefs head coach Andy Reid comments on potential deadline trade for a wide receiver | @EdEastonJr

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid spoke with reporters on Monday via Zoom regarding his thoughts on returning players Kareem Hunt and JuJu Smith-Schuster making an impact and the upcoming trade deadline.

“They know how we operate. They know the offense. They’re comfortable with Kareem (Hunt), who had obviously been away for a while, but he was able to pick everything up quickly. He and Pat (Patrick Mahomes) are very good friends.” said Reid. “They stayed in touch throughout the years here. So, you know, he was welcomed back in. Yeah, you have that part of it, the comfort part on the chair you’re welcome back in and to get things rolled, and that opens up another avenue there for him psychologically.”

Reid also addressed what he and general manager Brett Veach would look for in a potential wide receiver trade at the deadline. Last year’s deal for Mecole Hardman and the preseason signing of Smith-Schuster were used as examples because of their familiarity and history with the franchise.

“I think that helped JuJu (Smith-Schuster) and his situation coming back in and jumping in. It helped Mecole (Hardman) come back, but I’m not telling the other guys can’t come in and help out. So that’s not, I don’t think that’s an issue.” said Reid. “It’s just going to take a little bit longer to figure it out and get on the same page with Pat (Patrick Mahomes), and all those things will be quite what you’ve seen with these other guys that have been in it, but that’s, and I’m not saying that we need to bring anybody else in.”

Reid has said in past press conferences he is fine with the current group of receivers, although rumors continue to spread about the team being active before the trade deadline.

Veteran Chiefs running back listed as ‘Doubtful’ for Week 5 game vs. Saints

The Kansas City Chiefs have few players dealing with playable injuries while practicing this week ahead of Monday Night Football.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the media on Saturday to reveal the final injury report before Monday night’s game against the New Orleans Saints.

“Clyde (Edwards-Helaire) will be listed as doubtful but had a good week of practice; good to get back in the swing of things,” said Reid. “Mecole (Hardman) practiced today. I mentioned that, (he’s) questionable. Mike Danna did practice today, he did good.”

“Look forward to the opportunity to play the Saints. They have a good football team and are well-coached. Our guys had a good week of practice, and I look forward to bringing them in here to GEH Field at Arrowhead Stadium. So (it) should be a heck of an atmosphere and a great game.”

The listed improvement of defensive lineman Mike Danna after missing last week’s game with a calf injury is a welcome site before Monday. The Saints have already announced multiple players as OUT due to various injuries, including Taysom Hill, Willie Gay, Cesar Ruiz, Shane Lemieux, and Payton Turner.

The injuries are racking up on the offensive side of the ball for the Kansas City Chiefs, and it’s carrying over to the special teams unit.

Chiefs special teams coordinator Dave Toub spoke with the media on Friday about the possibility of Mecole Hardman being unavailable for Monday night after missing practice due to a knee injury. He mentioned several names that could fill in this week as the kick and punt returner.

“We have a number of guys that can do it; obviously, Nikko (Remigio) can do it, (Montrell) Washington could do it. Any of those two guys could possibly pop up if Mecole (Hardman) was down,” said Toub, and then obviously, we have other guys, I mean, (Xavier) Worthy to be a punt returner, Skyy Moore, we have a lot of guys. We have a lot of options there. “

Remigio, named one of the first options on Toub’s list in case Hardman is unavailable on Monday, aligns with the praise he received during training camp. He is currently listed on the practice squad but could be in line for a call-up over the next few hours to fill the role.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid explains his philosophy for making deals at the trade deadline

In the past few seasons, the Kansas City Chiefs front office has been busy making trade deadline moves to prepare for the postseason run.

During his weekly Monday Zoom press conference, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid explained his mindset regarding trade deadline moves to help improve the roster.

“Yeah, it would depend on who the guy is. I mean, that’s the obvious. If he’s got experience in the offense, and it’s not too bad.” said Reid. “But it takes, it takes somebody a little bit of time to get himself involved and get the terminology down, but it’s a lot easier now than it is during training camp, and they have to learn a kazillion plays here they just have the game week to learn and getting on the same page with the quarterback and the timing and all that. That’s a bigger issue normally.”

In past seasons, the Chiefs have acquired wide receivers at the deadline, including Kadarius Toney and the reacquisition of Mecole Hardman last season. Following those trades, Kansas City went on Super Bowl-winning runs, showing that it is a potential strategy this year.
