Hardee (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 12 game against Houston, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
Hardee missed last Sunday's matchup against Minnesota due to a groin issue and sat out Tennessee's first two practices this week. However, he was able to log a limited practice session Friday, giving him a chance to suit up against the Texans. Hardee's return would mostly affect the Titans' special-teams unit, as he's yet to play a defense snap over two contests with the team.
Will be held out Week 11

Hardee (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.
Hardee logged an LP/DNP/LP practice progression during the week and won't be able to suit up against the Vikings. Since joining Tennessee in early November, the cornerback has gotten into two games, with all 35 of his snaps coming on special teams.
Cut by Browns
Published: 2024-08-29
Hardee was released by the Browns on Tuesday.
Hardee compiled 11 total tackles (eight solo) with the Browns in the preseason, but he ultimately didn't do enough to earn a spot on the team's initial 53-man roster. The cornerback has appeared in at least 10 games in each of his seven prior NFL seasons and he'll likely find another opportunity elsewhere in the near future.
Enters concussion protocols

Hardee is questionable to return to Saturday's preseason game against Seattle after entering concussion protocols, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Hardee was taken out of the game in the third quarter. He got checked out in the medical blue tent before eventually going to the locker room. Hardee registered two solo tackles before exiting Saturday's contest.
Finds new home

Hardee signed a one-year contract with the Browns on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hardee has been a premier special teams contributor for the Jets each of the past seasons, working on kick and punt return coverage, including a Pro Bowl appearance in 2022. Considering he's only played one defensive snap in the last three seasons, he'll likely be expected to be used in the same role in Cleveland.
Comes off IR

The Jets activated Hardee (hamstring) to their active roster Saturday.
Hardee has appeared in just five games for New York this season, but it now seems as if he's completely moved past his hamstring issue. The 29-year-old cornerback was selected to the Pro Bowl as a special-teamer in 2022, and he's expected to help fortify the Jets' special teams unit for the remainder of the season.
Designated from IR
Published: 2023-11-29
Hardee (hamstring) was designated to return from the Jets' injured reserve Wednesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
The Jets now have 21 days to officially activate Hardee off injured reserve where he's spent the past seven weeks since suffering a hamstring injury versus the Broncos. The 29-year-old was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice and can contribute on special teams once he returns.
Officially lands on IR

Hardee (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Hardee suffered the injury in Week 5 against the Broncos and has since undergone surgery. He was given a four-to-six week timeline to return, and he will now be out until at least Week 11 against the Broncos. Hardee had played exclusively on special teams in five games this season.
