Mecole Hardman unlikely to play
Reid was particularly optimistic that among the injured players Kadarius Toney and JuJu Smith-Schuster would be able to play in the Super Bowl. On JuJu, Reid said, “He’s in a good place.” Reid was not optimistic about Mecole Hardman. “I doubt he’ll make the Super Bowl.” (Adam Teicher on Twitter)
Nerdy Football Analysis: It sounds like Hardman is likely to be on the Inactive list for Super Bowl but Toney and JuJu have a decent shot of playing. Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Skyy Moore and Justin Watson – who missed last week due to illness – are likely to be in the mix as well. It’s almost impossible to predict with accuracy the wide receiver distribution on any given week for the Chiefs.
