Cardinals Announce Marvin Harrison Jr. Update Before Packers Game

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has started the 2025 NFL season racking up 22 receptions, 338 yards and two touchdowns.

Since being selected with the No. 4 pick out of Ohio State in the 2024 NFL Draft, he's become a top target of quarterback Kyler Murray. His 34 targets are the second most on the Cardinals behind tight end Trey McBride (53).

Despite Arizona's 2-4 record, Harrison has been a productive asset. The Cardinals are looking to snap a four-game losing streak and pick up their third win of the season with a Week 7 matchup against the 3-1-1 Green Bay Packers.

However, questions arose whether Harrison would be available to play. On the Cardinals' Wednesday and Thursday injury reports, the second-year wide receiver was a limited participant due to a concussion.

It was sustained during Arizona's Week 6 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. That meant he must follow a five-step concussion protocol before being cleared. On Friday, the Cardinals announced their game status report, which didn't include Harrison, meaning he's good to go.

Harrison being available is crucial, as Murray (foot) and wide receiver Zay Jones are both listed as questionable. Murray is especially worrying, as he was a limited participant in all three practices.

The Packers' defense ranks 11th in passing yards per game allowed (207.2). It's the weaker part of their defense, ranking first in rushing yards per game allowed (73).

The key components of the Cardinals' passing attack will be crucial in this matchup. Though Arizona may be without Murray and Jones, having Harrison available is a big boost.
