Mecole Hardman drops the ball in Packers debut

Veteran wide receiver and returner Mecole Hardman likely hurt his chances of making the Green Bay Packers roster after dropping the ball -- both figuratively and literally -- during his preseason debut on Saturday night.

Hardman, a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Kansas City Chiefs, made three critical errors and finished with zero catches and zero return yards during the 30-10 loss to the New York Jets.

The mistakes snowballed and directly hurt the Packers in the first half. On his first return, Hardman caught a punt in heavy traffic at the 5-yard line, pinning the Packers' second-team offense deep in its own territory.
