After returning to the lineup in Week 13 following an appendectomy, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. Suffered another injury.

Harrison sustained a heel injury in that contest that forced him to miss the Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Rams.

While the Cardinals are eliminated from playoff contention, Harrison's status is still of interest to fantasy football owners, and specifically those who roster Harrison and fellow wideout Michael Wilson, who has exploded in each game Harrison missed.

Here's the latest injury updates on Harrison for Week 15.

Will Marvin Harrison Jr. Return in Week 15?

With no update from head coach Jonathan Gannon on Monday, Harrison's status remains up in the air for Week 15.

Gannon previously compared Harrison's heel injury to the one cornerback Max Melton suffered in Week 12.

Melton has now missed two games with that injury, which leaves the door open for Harrison sit out another contest.

Arizona has zero motivation to rush Harrison back and have him play at less than 100% given the fact the Cardinals are eliminated from playoff contention, so that's something to consider.

Ultimately, we would guess that Harrison won't play this week, but we'll know more on Wednesday, when Arizona drops its first injury report of the week.

Any semblance of practice participation for Harrison, who did not take part in practice at all last week, would be a good sign for him.

Michael Wilson fantasy advice

Wilson has tallied 118 yards or more in each of the three games Harrison has missed, and he scored a pair of touchdowns last week.

Since Week 11, Wilson has scored more fantasy points than any other wide receiver in the NFL, making him a must-start player if Harrison sits.

If Harrison plays, we would still consider Wilson a starting option given his strong chemistry with Jacoby Brissett, but there's no doubt his stock would take a hit, as Wilson had just three catches for 36 yards when Harrison last played in Week 13.
