Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Mecole Hardman

Sunday, November 9, 2:39 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) is officially active for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The veteran receiver is returning from a one-week absence and has been relatively underwhelming this season with 24 catches, 293 yards, and one touchdown through seven games. He and Rashid Shaheed will co-exist behind alpha receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba on Sunday afternoon.

The Green Bay Packers are releasing wide receiver Mecole Hardman on Tuesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Despite the Packers dealing with multiple injuries to their receiving corps in training camp, the Packers will move on from Hardman, who was looking to secure a depth role with the Packers after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Kansas City Chiefs. In his six NFL seasons, the 27-year-old pass-catcher has caught 178 of hi 258 targets for 2,302 yards and 16 touchdowns in 80 regular-season games (28 starts). Hardman also has plenty of special-teams experience and should be able to find work with another team for his versatility and speed during the 2025 season. Last year in 12 regular-season games (no starts) with KC, Hardman caught just 12 passe for 90 yards and no scores.
