Marvin Harrison Jr. Ready to Battle Through Injury
The Arizona Cardinals are gearing up for a challenging Week 17 clash against the Cincinnati Bengals, and one of their star wide receivers, Marvin Harrison Jr., is set to make an appearance. However, fans should temper their expectations, as his playing time will be restricted due to a lingering heel injury that has sidelined him for the past two games.
Limited Snap Count Ahead
According to multiple NFL insiders, including Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter, Harrison is officially listed as questionable but is expected to take the field. Rapoport noted, “WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is listed as questionable and expected to play, source said. He likely won’t have his full load of snaps.” Similarly, Schefter confirmed, “Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a heel injury, is expected to play vs. the Bengals, but his snaps will be managed, per source.”
Coaching Insights on Harrison’s Status
Earlier in the week, Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon provided insight into Harrison’s condition, revealing a cautious approach to his return. “OK. I think he’ll be ready for more. We’ll see how it kind of goes here. Obviously, we had a plan for his reps based on where he was health-wise. I know he wants to play more, so we’ll see where he is at. Take it day by day,” Gannon explained.
Harrison’s Determination to Play
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his health, Harrison has expressed a strong desire to contribute, indicating that he is willing to push through the discomfort of his heel injury. His determination to play, even at less than full strength, underscores his commitment to the team and the importance of this matchup.
As the Cardinals look to secure a crucial win against the Bengals, all eyes will be on Harrison to see how he manages his injury while making an impact on the field.
