Hardman was a limited practice participant Wednesday with an oblique injury.
Hardman made it through training camp healthy and played in all three preseason games, but he's now nicked up with the opener against Cleveland just a few days away. He played all 16 games in both of his first two NFL seasons, and there hasn't been any indication the oblique injury is serious. A return to full participation Thursday or Friday would clear up all doubts as Hardman prepares for a larger role after Sammy Watkins' departure in the offseason.
