Hardy, 27, played in 17 regular-season games for the Bears in 2025, mostly on special teams, making one start and totaling 22 tackles. Hardy played on 78% of special teams snaps (355) and 5% on defensive snaps (54).
The Los Angeles Rams selected Hardy in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Montana State. He started the 2022 season on injured reserve and played in six games in 2022 before he was released in August 2023 and signed two days later by the Bears to their practice squad.
He has 38 career tackles in 40 games, 34 with the Bears in 2024 and 2025.
