Who Should I Start? Corey Davis or Mecole Hardman

Wednesday, August 14, 7:46 PM

The Buffalo Bills recently evaluated former Tennessee Titans and New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis during a tryout. Davis, who retired briefly before making a comeback, was the fifth overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft and is looking to rejoin the league. Over his six-year career, Davis has accumulated 273 catches for 3,879 yards and 17 touchdowns. His standout season came in 2020 with the Titans, where he recorded career highs with 65 receptions, 984 yards, and five touchdowns. Afterward, Davis signed a three-year, $37.5 million contract with the Jets. The Bills' interest in Davis follows the placement of receiver Chase Claypool on season-ending injured reserve and comes in the wake of trading Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans for a 2025 second-round pick earlier this offseason. In response, the Bills have also added Curtis Samuel through free agency on a three-year deal and selected Keon Coleman with their top pick in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Mecole Hardman (calf) could be opened this week, according to Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com. Hardman is eligible to be activated to the 53-man roster from Injured Reserve for the team's Week 16 contest against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The 27-year-old has been on IR since Nov. 20 and has already missed the required four games. Even if he returns to practice this week, it won't be a lock that Hardman will be active this weekend against the Browns. And when Hardman returns to action, he'll probably only contribute on special teams as a kick returner. He's only been active for one game for the Bills this year and has no catches on one target.
