Hardman has only played 30 ST snaps ALL YEAR. If the narrative is that he's been benched then we should probably talk about the other 5 weeks where he didn't return any punts, starting in week 4. This isn't new. Apparently nobody noticed until now that Hardman hasn't been playing ST hardly at all for almost 2 months.

We never truly know what's going on behind the scenes, but this seems like a pretty clear demotion.

It does. But then again, it's only 2 weeks. You can't really form a trend on 2 weeks.
