The Kansas City Chiefs could easily receive a boost this week against the Denver Broncos, as one player they have missed all week so likely to come back.

Now, that doesn’t mean he will, but the chances are much higher.

Mecole Hardman hasn’t played since Week 9, against the Tennessee Titans. When he was playing, he was as big a part of the offense as any other weapon on the Chiefs.

Against the 49ers, Hardman scored three touchdowns. He was the offense against the best defense in the league, when the Chiefs scored 44 points.

Head coach Andy Reid gave an update on Hardman Wednesday.

“As the week went on, he got a bit tired and sore,” Reid said of Hardman last week. “I think that was good. He worked his way through what he needed to get through. Now it’s a matter of getting him in a game. Unless there’s a setback, I presume he’ll be there. But that’s where we’re at right now.”

Now as of Wednesday during the time of the press conference, Hardman is still on injured reserve. That doesn’t mean he can’t or won’t play Sunday.

If he does, that would be one hell of a boost for a Chiefs offense that has struggled as of late.
