Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has been off to an uneven start to the season, but he is still one of the more important players on the team.
If the Cardinals want to turn their season around, they will need Harrison to perform like the top-five pick he was in 2024. However, Arizona may be without its best wide receiver, while already dealing with injuries throughout the offense.
Here's the latest on Marvin Harrison Jr. after he was injured on Sunday.
