Season so far
Daniel Hardy has appeared in just one contest so far during the 2026 campaign, making it early in his seasonal evaluation. Across 19 total snaps in Week 2 against Minnesota, he posted an exact replacement-level grade of 60.0. His workload was confined exclusively to special teams units rather than on the defensive line. Hardy played assignment-sound football throughout the game, avoiding any negative miscues while registering zero standout positive plays. With only this neutral baseline outing on record, it remains to be seen how his role and impact will develop moving forward.
