Marvin Harrison Jr. Out for Cardinals vs. Packers with Concussion

Zach BacharOct 13, 2024

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was ruled out during the team's clash with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday due to a concussion.

The rookie's head collided with Packers linebacker Isaiah McDuffie's leg following an incomplete pass in the second quarter. Harrison briefly stood up before collapsing on the field. He was able to return to his feet and walk off with the help of Arizona's medical staff.

Harrison was targeted twice before he exited the contest, finishing with zero catches.

Losing Harrison is a tough blow for a Cardinals offense that already struggled to move the ball through the air when he was available, owning the league's eighth-worst passing attack entering Sunday's action.

After a stellar college career at Ohio State that included a fourth-place finish in 2023 Heisman Trophy voting, Arizona selected the 22-year-old with the No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 draft.

Harrison's NFL career didn't get off to a strong start, as he recorded just one catch for four yards in the Cardinals' season-opener. He quickly bounced back, hauling in 16 receptions for 275 yards over his next four appearances.

Harrison has also recorded four touchdowns in five career games, the most among all rookie receivers this season.

He's remained relatively healthy throughout the start of his inaugural campaign. Harrison only appeared on Arizona's injury report ahead of the team's Week 4 loss to the Washington Commanders due to an oblique issue, but he didn't carry a game status heading into the matchup and was able to suit up.

Kyler Murray will likely lean on several players to replace his production including Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch.

Harrison's first opportunity to clear concussion protocol and return will be in Week 7, as the Cardinals host the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.
