Marvin Harrison Jr. Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Rams vs Cardinals game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Dec 1, 2025
In danger of more missed time
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Harrison's heel injury is similar to the one that kept Max Melton (heel) out of Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports. Gannon also noted that Harrison is "going to see the doc later on here."
ANALYSIS
Harrison thus appears to be in danger of missing this coming Sunday's game against the Rams after exiting Week 13 in the fourth quarter and not returning to action. He already sat out Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy, so his activity Level thus bears watching Wednesday through Friday to see if the Cardinals' receiving corps again will be shorthanded Week 14. In such a such a scenario, Michael Wilson would reclaim the No. 1 role for at least one more contest, while expanded workloads for Greg Dortch and Xavier Weaver also would be on tap.

Battles heel injury in Week 13
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers that Harrison exited in the second half of the game due to a heel injury and was unable to return, Jess Root of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Back in action Sunday after missing the previous two contests while recovering from an appendectomy, Harrison finished with six catches for 69 yards on seven targets while playing 37 of 61 offensive snaps (61 percent). It's not clear when Harrison sustained the heel injury, but he had an insert placed in his shoe at one point during the contest, only to remove it later on. Harrison was then seen limping around on the field in the second half after catching a pass, prompting the Cardinals to pull him from the contest. The second-year wideout said after the game that he would undergo further evaluation, so his status for next Sunday's matchup with the Rams is cloudy at the moment.

Six catches in return Sunday
Harrison secured six of seven targets for 69 yards in the Cardinals' 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Making his return from a two-game absence following an emergency appendectomy, Harrison ascended back into his No. 1 receiver role at the expense of the likes of Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch. Harrison finished second across the board to Trey McBride in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, but he led Arizona's wideouts in all three categories. Now seemingly back to full health, Harrison will maintain plenty of fantasy appeal across all formats going into a Week 14 home showdown against the Rams next Sunday.
Nov 30, 2025
Back in action Sunday
Harrison (appendix) is active for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.
ANALYSIS
In the wake of a Week 12 loss to the Jaguars, coach Jonathan Gannon said last Monday that Harrison didn't have a timeline for a return to action after missing the past two contests due to appendicitis, per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com. Harrison then mixed into drills Wednesday and maintained limited activity through Friday before the Cardinals tagged him as questionable to play Sunday. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday evening that Harrison was in line to suit up this weekend, which now will come to pass. Considering he may not be running at full capacity, though, Harrison may take a back seat to TE Trey McBride and fellow WR Michael Wilson in terms of targets from QB Jacoby Brissett.
Nov 29, 2025
Trending toward playing Sunday
Harrison (appendix), who is officially questionable to return to action against Tampa Bay on Sunday, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison has missed Arizona's past two games after undergoing an appendectomy. He was able to return to practice this week and logged a trio of limited sessions. That appears to be enough for him to return to game action against against the Buccaneers, in which case he'll likely reclaim his role as the Cardinals' No. 1 WR. That could dent the production of No. 2 wideout Michael Wilson to some extent after Wilson went off for a combined 25-303-0 line on 33 targets in the two contests during Harrison's absence.
Nov 28, 2025
Questionable for Sunday
Harrison (appendix) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison returned to practice Wednesday, two weeks after underdoing an appendectomy. He was a limited participant all week, including Friday, when he told reporters after practice that "some things feel uncomfortable" while others "feel kind of normal," Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Harrison "moved around well" during practice, but Gannon didn't comment on expectations for the wideout's availability this Sunday (1:00 p.m. ET kickoff).
Nov 27, 2025
Another limited listing
Harrison (appendix) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison maintained his listed activity level from Wednesday, which marked his first notable on-field work since undergoing an appendectomy following Week 10 action. So far, he's missed two games as a result, but Friday's injury report will unveil whether or not the second-year pro has a chance to return to action Sunday in Tampa Bay. Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch have been filling in as the Cardinals' top two wide receivers during Harrison's absence.
Nov 26, 2025
Officially limited in return to practice
Harrison (appendix) officially was limited at Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison underwent an appendectomy after Week 10 action and subsequently was sidelined Weeks 11 and 12. Coach Jonathan Gannon didn't provide a timetable for Harrison's next game action as of Monday, per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com, but the second-year pro at least is putting himself in a position to play Sunday at Tampa Bay following Wednesday's development. In the end, Friday's injury report will reveal whether or not Arizona is giving Harrison a chance to return in Week 13.
Nov 26, 2025
Back at practice
Harrison (appendix) returned to practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison has missed the last two games after undergoing an appendectomy between Weeks 10 and 11, but his ability to resume on-field work Wednesday indicates he's progressing well in his recovery. He was spotted running routes and catching passes, but whether or not he's on a path to return to action Sunday at Tampa Bay remains to be seen. Wednesday's injury report will reveal Harrison's initial activity level of Week 13 prep.
Nov 24, 2025
No timeline for return, per Gannon
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Harrison (appendix) doesn't have a timetable for a return to action, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports. "When he's physically and mentally healthy to play, he'll play," Gannon noted.
ANALYSIS
Harrison has missed the last two games after undergoing an appendectomy between Weeks 10 and 11, a span in which fellow WR Michael Wilson has broken out with a 25-303-0 line on 33 targets and even Greg Dortch has produced a 12-119-2 line on 15 targets. As for Harrison, he's in the midst of a multi-week recovery, and Gannon's comments seem to indicate the second-year pro isn't a candidate to retake the field Sunday at Tampa Bay.
Nov 19, 2025
Ruled out for Week 12
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison (appendix) is ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison will miss a second consecutive week while recovering from surgery undergone to address appendicitis. His absence will again leave Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch, Xavier Weaver and Andre Baccellia available as the top wide receivers for quarterback Jacoby Brissett, though tight end Trey McBride remains positioned as the team's de facto No. 1 target in the receiving game. Harrison's next chance to play will come Sunday, Nov. 30 versus the Buccaneers in Week 13.
Nov 12, 2025
Out for Week 11 due to appendicitis
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison will miss Sunday's game against the 49ers after undergoing surgery to address appendicitis, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gannon also indicated that Harrison could potentially remain sidelined longer than just Week 11, per Ian. With Harrison sidelined and Zay Jones (Achilles) having recently been placed on IR due to a season-ending injury, Michael Wilson, Greg Dortch and Xavier Weaver (ankle) are the remaining available options at wide receiver on Arizona's active roster. Expect the team to elevate at least one ofAndre Baccellia, Jalen Brooks or Tejhaun Palmer from the practice squad for Sunday's matchup against San Francisco.
Nov 9, 2025
Inefficient with TD scored
Harrison had three receptions on 12 targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 loss to Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Harrison matched his previous career mark of 12 targets set in Week 13 last season (5-60-1), but he was less efficient this time around with just three receptions to show. The Ohio State product still cashed in his fifth touchdown reception on the year, bumping his season receiving line up to 34-525-4 through nine starts. Look for QB Jacoby Brissett to continue feeding the rock to Harrison in a favorable matchup against the 49ers next Sunday.
Nov 4, 2025
Career-high seven receptions on MNF
Harrison finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 27-17 win over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Harrison entered Monday's primetime tilt facing a team boasting two proven superstar receivers, only to casually finish as the game's leading receiver and top fantasy producer. The seven receptions also represented a new career high for the 22-year-old. Harrison's big night upped his season line to 31-492-3 through eight starts, giving managers hope for strong second half to his sophomore campaign. Even in games in which Harrison doesn't go off, he is providing enough of a floor to earn a spot in fantasy lineups against the Seahawks on Sunday.
Oct 17, 2025
Set to play Sunday
Harrison (concussion) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Packers, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison came out of a Week 6 loss in Indianapolis with a concussion that limited at Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice, but his ability to handle every practice rep Friday followed by avoiding a Week 7 designation indicates he's been cleared by an independent neurologist. QB Kyler Murray (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest after being listed as limited all week, but Jacoby Brissett took all the visible reps with the first-team offense, suggesting the latter is more likely than the former to be tossing passes Harrison's way this weekend.
Oct 17, 2025
Still in concussion protocol
Harrison (concussion) remains in concussion protocol Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cardinals listed Harrison as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, following his early exit from the Week 6 loss at Indianapolis. A full practice Friday would have fantasy managers feeling better, although Harrison will still need final clearance from a neurologist even if everything goes well on the practice field.
Oct 16, 2025
Limited again Thursday
Harrison (concussion) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Harrison emerged from this past Sunday's defeat at Indianapolis with a concussion, and he so far has managed back-to-back capped sessions to begin Week 7 prep. He even was spotted hauling in passes from QB Jacoby Brissett while donning a yellow non-contact jersey Thursday, per Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. An independent neurologist will need to clear Harrison in order for the second-year pro to suit up Sunday against the Packers, but he at least appears to be making progress through the protocol for head injuries.
Oct 15, 2025
Limited at walkthrough
Harrison (concussion) was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was diagnosed with a concussion during this past Sunday's loss at Indianapolis, and while Jonathan Gannon told Dani Sureck of the team's official site on Wednesday that the second-year wide receiver remains in the protocol for head injuries, his limited listing indicates he at least has made some progress through it. In order to play Sunday against the Packers, though, Harrison will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist. Arizona's receiving corps is particularly banged up at the moment, as Michael Wilson (foot, limited) and Zay Jones (knee, DNP) also are tending to injuries.
Oct 15, 2025
Remains in concussion protocol
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Harrison is still in the NFL's concussion protocol, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was forced out of Arizona's loss to Indianapolis in Week 6 due to a concussion, so it's no surprise that he's continuing to progress in his recovery. The second-year pro will need to attain full clearance before being eligible to return to game action, making his status for Sunday's matchup against the Packers uncertain. If Harrison misses any further time, Zay Jones will figure to again step into a starting role alongside Michael Wilson. Jones played a season-high 79 percent of offensive snaps versus Indianapolis due to Harrison's exit, and he paced the Cardinals in receiving yards while securing five of eight targets for 79 yards.
Oct 12, 2025
Concussion confirmed
Harrison won't return to Sunday's game at Indianapolis due to a concussion.
ANALYSIS
Harrison banged the back of his helmet hard on the turf as he corralled a 21-yard catch in the middle of the second quarter that required a concussion check. Now that he's in the protocol for head injuries, he'll be subject to league protocol in order to be eligible for further game action. The Cardinals will roll with Michael Wilson (finger), Zay Jones, Greg Dortch and Simi Fehoko at wide receiver for the rest of Sunday's contest.
Oct 12, 2025
Getting concussion check
Harrison is undergoing a concussion check during Sunday's contest in Indianapolis.
ANALYSIS
As Harrison hauled in a 21-yard catch in the middle of the second quarter, his helmet appeared to hit the turf hard, which necessitated the second-year wide receiver visiting the sideline tent and then the locker room. If he's eventually diagnosed with a concussion, he'll finish Week 6 with two receptions (on two targets) for 32 yards.
Oct 6, 2025
Building positive performances
Harrison recorded four receptions on five targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 22-21 loss to the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Harrison got off to a remarkable start to the game, leaping over a pair of defenders for what initially appeared to be a 44-yard touchdown on Arizona's opening drive. He was ruled down at the one after review, though it was still his second catch of at least 40 yards this season. Harrison then recorded gains of 20 and 16 yards on Arizona's next drive, before largely disappearing from the game plan as the Cardinals got very conservative on offense. While the performance was nearly much bigger from a fantasy perspective, Harrison is starting to stack together positive showings after delivering 66 yards and a touchdown in Week 4.
Sep 26, 2025
Contested TD catch in loss
Harrison secured six of 10 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 23-20 loss to the Seahawks on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Harrison finished with a team-high yardage total while checking in second in receptions and targets to Trey McBride. The talented wideout also recorded his first touchdown grab since Week 1 on an impressive 16-yard catch in the left corner of the end zone against Devon Witherspoon with 5:50 remaining in the fourth quarter to narrow what had been a 20-6 deficit. Harrison's catch tally was also a season high, affording the 2024 first-round pick some momentum heading into a favorable Week 5 home matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Oct. 5.
Sep 22, 2025
Leading receiver on six targets
Harrison brought in three of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 16-15 loss to the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Harrison wound up leading Arizona with 44 receiving yards in a game where the team generated just 159 yards of offense through the air. The sophomore receiver suffered an uncharacteristic drop on a wide-open deep shot from Kyler Murray that could have resulted in a lengthy touchdown. Harrison continues to flash potential, only to disappear at times like he did against Carolina last week (2-27-0). The high-pedigree receiver should be treated as a boom-or-bust play against the Seahawks on Thursday.
Sep 14, 2025
Inefficient on five targets Sunday
Harrison had two receptions on five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Harrison's production crashed in Week 2 following last week's team high receiving line of 5-71-1 against the Saints. The 23-year-old took a back seat to TE Trey McBride (6-78-0) while fellow wideout Michael Wilson caught QB Kyler Murray's lone touchdown pass Sunday. Harrison experienced his fair share of ups-and-downs over his rookie campaign in 2024, and we may not see much consistency from him as a sophomore based on this two-game sample size. Managers will be hoping for one of Harrison's "up" games in road tilt against San Francisco next Sunday.
Sep 7, 2025
Finds end zone against Saints
Harrison caught five of six targets for a team-high 71 tards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over New Orleans.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wideout hauled in Kyler Murray's longest completion of the day with a 45-yard gain in the second quarter, and Harrison capped that drive with a one-yard TD reception. While he didn't see typical WR1 volume, Harrison's chemistry with Murray bodes very well for the prospects of a 2025 breakout for the fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft. Harrison will look to build on this performance in Week 2 at home against the Panthers.
Aug 19, 2025
Better rapport with Murray
Harrison and QB Kyler Murray are operating with a greater rapport ahead of the 2025 season, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After hooking up with Murray for a 15-yard catch in preseason Week 1 versus the Chiefs, Harrison and the rest of the Cardinals' No. 1 offense didn't suit up this past Saturday at Denver. This followed last Thursday's joint practice in which Murray and Harrison connected on a number of passes against a tough Broncos defense. Harrison is looking to build upon a 62-885-8 line on 116 targets in 17 regular-season games as a rookie, and the 2024 fourth overall pick seems poised to do so based on early returns in training camp and exhibition season.
Aug 10, 2025
Flashes on one catch Saturday
Harrison brought in his only target for 15 yards in the Cardinals' 20-17 preseason win over the Chiefs on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
Harrison officially kicked off his highly anticipated 2025 with a 15-yard grab over the middle on Arizona's first drive, but the second pass thrown his way later in the drive was intercepted by the Chiefs' Jaden Hicks. Harrison didn't see the ball come his way again, but it was nevertheless a relatively encouraging start to preseason for the bulked-up 2024 first-round pick, who's hoping to significantly improve on what was considered a lackluster campaign relative to expectations. Harrison and the rest of the first-team offense could see more work during the Cardinals' second preseason game, which comes on the road against the Broncos next Saturday night.
Aug 5, 2025
Returns to practice
Harrison (knee) is returning to practice Tuesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
He missed practice Thursday and Friday due to knee soreness, and then felt ill over the weekend. A quick return to practice may allow Harrison to play in Saturday's preseason opener against Kansas City, with coach Jonathan Gannon announcing Tuesday that he plans to use Kyler Murray and other starters.
Aug 2, 2025
Now also dealing with illness
Harrison is missing his third straight practice Saturday due both to a knee issue and an illness, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Knee soreness kept Harrison out of practice Thursday and Friday, and he's now been affected by an illness as well. That said, head coach Jonathan Gannon stated Saturday that the second-year wideout is "trending in a good direction," per Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com. so neither issue currently seems to be threatening Harrison's availability for Week 1 of the regular season. Gannon similarly said that the team is "being smart" with Harrison, according to Brack, though Gannon didn't mention when the club's top wideout may return to practice.
Aug 1, 2025
Held out again Friday
Harrison (knee) didn't practice Friday, though he was present for the session and "looks to be fine," Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
This was Harrison's second straight missed practice as he deals with soreness in his knee, though head coach Jonathan Gannon has deemed the wideout's absence as precautionary. Brack described Harrison as "moving well" while observing Friday's practice, so the second-year receiver's injury indeed seems to be minor. Darren Urban of NFL.com suggests that Harrison could also sit out Saturday to maximize his recovery time since Arizona isn't scheduled to practice Sunday and is slated for just a walkthrough Monday.
Jul 31, 2025
Managing knee soreness
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday that Harrison (knee) will not practice due to soreness, adding that the injury isn't serious and his absence is precautionary, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison's injury appears minor, so it should have no impact on his ADP for 2025 fantasy drafts at this stage. The 2024 first-round pick reportedly bulked up to roughly 220 pounds to kick off training camp, a notable development after he entered the league with a listed weight of 209 pounds. Expectations are high for Harrison entering Year 2, despite a disappointing rookie campaign compared to expectations, in which he secured just 62 of his 116 targets for a 62-885-8 receiving line while playing all 17 regular-season games. Arizona's receiving corps is notably unchanged from its 2024 iteration, so Harrison is primed to reprise a role that features little target competition other than TE Trey McBride.
Jul 24, 2025
Bulks up over offseason
Harrison reported to training camp Wednesday at 220 pounds, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison entered the NFL at 209 pounds but spent the offseason bulking up and focusing on his diet. The No. 4 overall pick of the 2024 Draft, Harrison had a fine rookie season, posting a 62-885-8 receiving line on 116 targets, but his efficiency clearly was lacking some. He caught just 54.4 percent of his targets, ranking 102nd out of 112 qualifying wide receivers in catch percentage. His average depth of target of 14.2 yards was 14th-highest, which helps explain some of that lack of efficiency. The Cardinals hope to do a better job of getting Harrison easier catches at all levels of the field in 2025.
Jun 23, 2025
Cardinals anticipating Year 2 leap
Arizona's coaching staff expects Harrison to take a substantial step forward in 2025 after his uneven rookie season, Doug Haller of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison has reportedly bulked up noticeably this offseason, a development that will hopefully help the No. 4 overall pick of the 2024 draft improve in contested-catch situations Year 2. Despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games as a rookie and acting as the Cardinals' top wide receiver, Harrison managed just a 62-885-8 receiving line (116 targets), finishing as a distant second in pass-catching production compared to TE Trey McBride. Quarterback Kyler Murray said at mandatory minicamp that he's observed improved confidence from Harrison, who will turn 23 in August. That Arizona didn't notably add to the pass-catching corps in either free agency or the 2025 NFL Draft can only be interpreted as a vote of confidence that Harrison will indeed follow through on a notable Year 2 leap, a development that will require him to translate his added strength and size into an ability to more consistently beat opposing cornerbacks downfield, and to do so without noticeably sacrificing speed. He'll have every oppor
Jan 5, 2025
Makes another end-zone visit
Harrison recorded five catches (on six targets) for 63 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 47-24 victory against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was the first non-quarterback selected (fourth overall) in the 2024 Draft, and he had his moments as a rookie, including four TD catches from Weeks 2-4 and two 100-yard performances. He also fell below 50 receiving yards 10 times in 17 outings en route to a composite 62-885-8 line on 116 targets. Harrison was a distant second to teammate TE Trey McBride (111-1,146-2 on 147 targets) in three major statistical categories for the campaign, but there's a chance the former begins to take on more attention from QB Kyler Murray in his second season. Overall, Harrison's fifth-place finish among first-year players in receiving yards behind the Jaguars' Brian Thomas (1,282), the Giants' Malik Nabers (1,204) the Raiders' Brock Bowers (1,194) and the Chargers' Ladd McConkey (1,149) is a respectable showing considering all but McConkey were first-round picks.
Dec 28, 2024
Productive night in loss
Harrison secured six of 10 targets for 96 yards in the Cardinals' 13-9 loss to the Rams on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
The talented rookie finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets while posting his best totals in the first two categories since Week 8. Harrison's yardage tally was the third best of his career to date, and after weeks of middling production, the spike was encouraging. Harrison will head into a Week 18 matchup against the 49ers with a distant shot at cracking the 1,000-yard barrier for the season, as he'll need 178 receiving yards versus San Francisco's talented secondary.
Dec 22, 2024
Struggles with eight targets
Harrison had four receptions on eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss to Carolina.
ANALYSIS
Harrison finished with three more targets than any teammate Sunday, but he failed to lead Arizona in any other receiving category in the overtime loss. The rookie prodigy has been a boom or bust asset in his first year as a pro, with more busts than booms in recent weeks. Harrison has finished above 50 receiving yards in just three of his last eight appearances, with all three of his touchdowns over that span coming in the games where he eclipsed 50 yards. That rate of inconsistency makes Harrison a risky fantasy play in standard formats against the Rams in Week 17.
Dec 15, 2024
Quiet day with two receptions
Harrison had two receptions on six targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 30-17 win over the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
It was an inefficient day at the office for Harrison, who recorded just 32 receiving yards on a 33 percent catch rate. A one-sided game script in favor of Arizona also hurt the wideout's fantasy potential Sunday, as this contest was never close despite the 13-point difference once the game clock hit zero. Harrison owns a 47-687-7 receiving line through 14 starts as a rookie, with his next chance to play coming in a road tilt against Carolina next Sunday.
Dec 8, 2024
Held to four catches in Week 14
Harrison caught four of eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Harrison has reached 50 receiving yards only five times in his up-and-down rookie season. His eight targets against Seattle ranked second behind Trey McBride's 14, and Harrison's 20 targets over the last two games are the most he has seen in a two-game span. While there's reason for long-term optimism with the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, including Harrison's team-leading total of seven receiving touchdowns, he can't be viewed as a surefire fantasy starter in most formats when the Cardinals host the Patriots in Week 15.
Dec 1, 2024
Finds end zone in Sunday's loss
Harrison caught five of 12 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-22 loss to the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
While the rookie wideout was far from efficient, Harrison was on the other end of Kyler Murray's only TD of the day, a 15-yard strike in the third quarter that gave the Cardinals a 19-6 lead. It was Harrison's seventh score in 12 games, which leads all rookie WRs and is fourth in the NFL behind Ja'Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Terry McLaurin. Harrison will look to get back in the end zone in Week 14 against the Seahawks, in a game that could have significant playoff implications in the NFC West.
Nov 24, 2024
Musters three catches in Week 12
Harrison hauled in three of six targets for 47 yards and no touchdowns during Sunday's 16-6 defeat in Seattle.
ANALYSIS
Cardinals pass catchers took a back seat to TE Trey McBride (12-133-0 on 15 targets) in the passing game Week 12, as Harrison's target count ranked second on the team, while his yards from scrimmage was fourth (WR Michael Wilson had 54, and RB James Conner notched 49). Prior to Arizona's Week 11 bye, Harrison was able to salvage lacking performances with touchdowns (six in 10 appearances), but the offense was held out of the end zone this weekend. Harrison's next opportunity to produce is next Sunday at Minnesota.
Nov 10, 2024
Returns to end zone Sunday
Harrison brought in all five of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-6 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Harrison rebounded from a down game in Week 9 by collecting all of his targets while cashing in his sixth touchdown of the season against the Jets. The rookie phenom has produced a 33-499-6 receiving line through 10 games as the Cardinals enter a bye week. Harrison has endured some ups and downs from a fantasy perspective, but he can still be relied upon in a plus matchup against the Seahawks on Nov. 24.
Nov 3, 2024
Just two catches in Week 9
Harrison hauled in two of five targets for 34 yards and lost a fumble during Sunday's 29-9 victory versus the Bears.
ANALYSIS
Harrison's second-quarter fumble was costly as it set the Bears up on the Cardinals' side of the field and eventually resulted in a made FGA. However, Arizona was able to grind out the game on the ground (34 carries) and scale back the passing attack (20 attempts). While Harrison has two 100-yard performances and has scored five touchdowns through nine games, he's also failed to surpass 50 yards on six occasions to date. He may be leaned on more next Sunday against the Jets.
Oct 27, 2024
Wakes up vs. MIA
Harrison hauled in six of seven targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-27 win over Miami.
ANALYSIS
Fantasy managers who drafted Harrison were obviously starting him for today's matchup regardless of his recent results, so it was a strong signal for the future to see the the rookie go off for Arizona in an upset victory. The son of Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison Sr. is now up to a 26-411-5 receiving line through eight contests, with most of that production coming in two contests. GMs will hopefully continue starting Harrison following Sunday's downpour of production heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Bears.
Oct 22, 2024
Held in check on MNF
Harrison had three receptions on six targets for 21 yards in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Harrison's up-and-down rookie campaign continued with another lackluster fantasy score. The 2024 first-round selection still boasts a solid 20-300-4 receiving line through four weeks, but most of that production came across a three-game span in Weeks 2-4. Harrison has the pedigree and potential to be worth a start in most fantasy formats, despite his recent returns signalling the contrary. Keep faith heading into a Week 8 matchup against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Oct 19, 2024
Full go for Monday
Harrison (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was a full participant in Friday's practice, so the final stage was simply clearing concussion protocol, which he accomplished Saturday. The dynamic rookie hasn't quite lived up to the fantasy hype to date, but he'll have an opportunity to compile more yardage against a Chargers defense that could without two of its top corners in Kristian Fulton (hamstring) and Asante Samuel (shoulder, injured reserve).

Upgrades to full practice
Harrison (concussion) was a full practice participant Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison has progressed rapidly since exiting last week's loss to the Packers in the first half. He managed a limited practice Thursday in a non-contact jersey, followed by a full session Friday in a normal jersey. Harrison still needs clearance from a neurologist to play in Monday's home game against the Chargers.

Sheds non-contact jersey
Harrison (concussion) isn't wearing a non-contact jersey at practice Friday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a sign of progress in the concussion protocol, following his limited practice participation Friday. Harrison has a shot to avoid missed time and suit up Monday night against the Chargers.

Limited in practice
Harrison (concussion) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a sign of progress through concussion protocol, although he was wearing a non-contact jersey and still has a few steps to go before he can play against the Chargers on Monday. Harrison was concussed during the first half of a 34-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday, leaving WR Xavier Weaver as a regular in three-wide formations alongside Michael Wilson (ankle) and Greg Dortch.

Wearing non-contact jersey Thursday
Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday that Harrison (concussion) will practice while wearing a non-contact jersey, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
Gannon said Harrison's progress has been "very encouraging," but the rookie first-round pick will still need to gain full clearance -- including from an independent neurologist -- in order to be eligible to suit up for Monday's home game against the Chargers. Harrison was forced out of Arizona's loss to Green Bay in Week 6 during the second quarter and placed in the NFL's concussion protocol. In the event that Harrison doesn't gain clearance in time to play Week 7, Michael Wilson will be in position to step up as the Cardinals' top wide receiver.

Concussion confirmed by Gannon
Coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Monday that Harrison suffered a concussion during Sunday's 34-13 loss at Green Bay, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was a bit wobbly after enduring a big hit on an incompletion in the middle of the second quarter of Sunday's game and eventually was ruled out after getting a concussion check. The Cardinals don't play again until next Monday versus the Chargers, so he'll be afforded a bit more time than normal to make his way through the protocol for head injuries. Thursday's practice report thus will be telling as to where he stands in his recovery, but he ultimately will need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to suit up for game action.
Oct 13, 2024
Done for day due to concussion
Harrison was evaluated for a head injury in Sunday's Week 6 game against Green Bay, and he's since been ruled out from returning.
ANALYSIS
Harrison took a hard hit on an incomplete pass thrown his way in the second quarter and staggered back to the ground following the play. He was subsequently evaluated for a concussion before being ruled out in the third quarter. Harrison didn't catch either of his two targets in the contest, and Michael Wilson will move into the No. 1 receiver role for the Cardinals with the rookie done for the day.
Oct 13, 2024
Getting concussion check
Harrison went to the locker room during Sunday's game at Green Bay to be evaluated for a head injury.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was shaken up after an incompletion in the middle of the second quarter and walked off the field with team trainers. If he's eventually diagnosed with a concussion, he'll end Week 6 with no catches on two targets.
Oct 6, 2024
Struggling with catch rate
Harrison had two receptions (seven targets) for 36 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Harrison had a rough go of things against San Francisco's top corner, Charvarius Ward, in Sunday's surprising victory. The 21-year-old Harrison has struggled with his catch rate as a rookie (48.6 percent through five games), but he has maintained fantasy value with a 17-279-4 receiving line. Harrison will shoot for better results in a road matchup against the Packers next Sunday.
Sep 29, 2024
Catches early TD in Week 4 loss
Harrison caught five of six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Harrison scored a two-yard touchdown on the opening drive and seemed poised for a huge performance against a Commanders defense that had struggled to cover wide receivers, so his final numbers are a bit disappointing given that context. Nonetheless, the standout rookie stretched his touchdown streak to three games (four TDs) and finished with the team lead in receiving yards for an Arizona offense that was without tight end Trey McBride (concussion). Up next for Harrison and the Cardinals is a Week 5 road game in San Francisco.

Cleared to play
Harrison (quadriceps) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Coach Jonathan Gannon said he wasn't worried about the injury, and it appears his assessment was correct after Harrison upgraded to full practice participation Friday and avoided a designation on the final injury report. The rookie ranks third in the league with 368 air yards, following a 4-130-1 receiving line Week 2 and a 5-64-1 line Week 3. Harrison will now take aim at a Washington defense that's given up the most fantasy points to QBs and WRs, with Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, Malik Nabers and Ja'Marr Chase all having topped 20 PPR points when they faced the Commanders
Sep 27, 2024
No concern about quad
Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday that there's no concern about Harrison's quadriceps injury, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
ANALYSIS
It sounds like Harrison will be fine for Sunday's game against the Commanders, following limited practice participation Wednesday and Thursday. He drew 19 targets and scored three touchdowns over the past two weeks, with repeated deep shots from Kyler Murray putting Harrison third in the league for air yards (368) this season. The rookie's 16.7 aDOT is fifth deepest in the league among players with double-digit targets, and it's No. 1 among the 32 players that have 20-plus targets.
Sep 26, 2024
Stays limited in practice
Harrison (quadriceps) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison maintained his activity level from one day prior, but he also appeared to be running and cutting as he normally would during Thursday's session, per Howard Balzer of USA Today. The rookie fourth overall pick may need to get back to full participation Friday in order to avoid a designation for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Sep 25, 2024
Dealing with quad issue
Harrison practiced in a limited fashion Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
ANALYSIS
After a slow start to his NFL career, Harrison has taken off the last two games, accruing nine catches (on 19 targets) for 194 yards and three touchdowns. With his inclusion on the Cardinals' first practice report of Week 4 prep, the team may merely be managing his reps to ensure he's good to go Sunday against the Commanders. Ultimately, though, how Harrison is listed Thursday and Friday could be telling for his availability for that contest.
Sep 22, 2024
Another first-quarter TD
Harrison secured five of 11 targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' 20-13 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Harrison logged a team-high number of targets while tying with Michael Wilson for most receiving yards as well, but the highlight of the former's day came early. Harrison logged his third career TD on a 10-yard grab in the first quarter to answer an early Lions touchdown, yet he and Kyler Murray frequently had trouble connecting after that point. The rookie fourth overall pick has bounced back nicely from his forgettable one-catch, four-yard pro debut against the Bills, but Harrison will look to up his efficiency against a vulnerable Commanders secondary in a Week 4 home clash.
Sep 15, 2024
Goes off for two scores
Harrison turned four receptions (eight targets) into 130 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Harrison delivered what fantasy managers had envisioned when drafting the 2024 fourth-overall selection in drafts this season. The son of Indianapolis Colts' legend Marvin Harrison Sr. put up numbers his father would have been proud of in his heyday. Harrison was a ghost in his pro debut against the Bills in Week 1, but this standout fantasy performance should have his managers stoked heading into Sunday's tilt against the Lions.
Sep 8, 2024
Struggles in NFL debut
Harrison caught one of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Harrison's much-anticipated NFL debut ended up being a dud, as slot receiver Greg Dortch led a run-heavy Arizona offense with 47 receiving yards. The rookie fourth overall pick out of Ohio State got wide open behind the defense on Arizona's final drive, but quarterback Kyler Murray didn't see him and the Cardinals ended up turning the ball over on downs in Bills territory with a chance to win the game. Harrison will look to bounce back from this disappointing NFL debut in Week 2 against a Rams defense with less talent in the secondary than Buffalo.
Aug 17, 2024
Healthy scratch Saturday
Harrison (coach's decision) did not play in Saturday's 21-13 preseason loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was held out of the Cardinals' second preseason tilt after receiving no targets in one series with the starters in last week's exhibition. Fans and fantasy managers alike may have to wait until the start of the regular season if Arizona's coaching staff continues to handle its new talent with kid gloves in games of no consequence. Harrison will be healthy and ready to roll come Week 1, providing massive fantasy upside as Kyler Murray's likely top target.
Aug 10, 2024
No targets Saturday
Harrison played one series and wasn't targeted during Saturday's 16-14 preseason loss to the Saints.
ANALYSIS
The much-anticipated debut of the 2024 fourth overall pick came and went with a whisper, as Harrison was the only expected Week 1 member of the starting offense to see the field in the Cardinals' exhibition opener. Coach Jonathan Gannon already has said that No. 1 QB Kyler Murray won't play in the preseason, so it stands to reason Harrison likely will experience only cameos for the team's two remaining games before the regular-season opener on Sunday, Sept. 8 at Buffalo.
Aug 8, 2024
Preseason debut on deck
Coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday that Harrison will suit up for Saturday's preseason opener against the Saints, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison will have a chance to log some exhibition reps Saturday, though Gannon already confirmed quarterback Kyler Murray won't suit up for any preseason action. That leaves Harrison in position to catch passes from Desmond Ridder and Clayton Tune during the preseason, while he'll have to wait until Week 1's road opener against the Bills to demonstrate his chemistry with Murray. Gannon didn't offer an estimation of Harrison's expected workload for Saturday, but it would be surprising to see the rookie fourth overall pick handling too many game reps before the regular season.
Aug 1, 2024
Likely to see preseason action
Harrison is expected to play in the preseason, Theo Mackie of AZ Central reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison noted his desire to play in the exhibition season after practice Thursday, citing both getting accustomed to game speed and simply wanting to engage in competition. Coach Jonathan Gannon echoed Harrison's sentiments, suggesting he wants the star rookie receiver to get into some game action. There's been no formal plan announced for Harrison's involvement, but it would be surprising to see him on the field for an extensive period of time prior to Week 1 of the regular season.

Early offseason standout
Harrison has impressed throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp and quickly solidified himself as the top option in Arizona's wide receiver room, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Harrison was fully expected to ascend as the No. 1 target for quarterback Kyler Murray upon being chosen No. 4 overall in April's draft, so it's no surprise that his offseason transition to the NFL has been "pretty seamless," per coach Jonathan Gannon, who also said the rookie has been "everything I expected." By all reports, Harrison has had no issues picking up Arizona's playbook, with positional mate Michael Wilson calling him "very perspicacious," saying "I truly think sky's the limit for [Harrison]." Tight end Trey McBride may represent more real competition for targets than fellow wideouts Wilson or Greg Dortch, but it's easy to envision a scenario where the Cardinals' passing offense is heavily filtered through its top two targets. The biggest question for Harrison will be whether he can live up to his hype immediately, as his ADP has already risen to the early second round of most 2024 fantasy drafts.
