The Titans released Hardee (undisclosed) on Friday with an non-football injury designation, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hardee contributed exclusively on special teams (184) across his nine regular-season appearances with Tennessee in 2024. The veteran re-signed with the team early April, but he appears to have since picked up an injury, leaving him among the Titans' roster cuts leading up to the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Titans re-signed Hardee to a one-year contract Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hardee suited up for nine regular-season games with Tennessee in 2024, playing exclusively on special teams. He figures to fill a similar role during the 2025 campaign. Hardee has played just two defensive snaps over the last five years, while regular contributing on special teams across his 63 combined regular-season appearances between the Saints, Jets and Titans.

Hardee (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hardee was unable to play Week 11 due to a groin injury, but he'll be available Sunday after logging a limited practice Friday. He's played exclusively on special teams in his two regular-season outings and figures to do so again Week 12.

Hardee (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's Week 12 game against Houston, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

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 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.

Hardee (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Hardee was released by the Browns on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Hardee signed a one-year contract with the Browns on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.

The Jets activated Hardee (hamstring) to their active roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Hardee (hamstring) was designated to return from the Jets' injured reserve Wednesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

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.
