Marvin Harrison Jr. Remains Absent as Heel Injury Lingers
Harrison’s Ongoing Absence
In a concerning development for the Arizona Cardinals, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was absent from practice for the second consecutive day as the team prepares for their Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans. This absence raises questions about his availability for the upcoming game, especially since he missed last week’s contest against the Los Angeles Rams due to a heel injury.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon is expected to provide more clarity on Harrison’s status during his meeting with reporters ahead of Friday’s practice. Currently, the outlook for the rookie’s return appears uncertain unless there is a significant improvement.
Injury Report Highlights
Harrison is not the only player dealing with injury issues. According to team reporter Darren Urban, safety Jalen Thompson, cornerback Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, guard Evan Brown, and defensive lineman Bilal Nichols also did not participate in today’s practice.
Adding to the mix, Paris Johnson Jr. was seen on the sidelines, already ruled out for the week, while he worked in a brace alongside teammate Xavier Weaver.
Player Updates
In a more positive light, Budda Baker made his return to practice, joining fellow players Josh Sweat and Kelvin Beachum. Their presence could provide a much-needed boost for the Cardinals as they navigate through a challenging week.
As the team continues to prepare for the Texans, the absence of key players like Harrison could have significant implications for their performance on the field. The Cardinals will be looking to solidify their lineup as they approach this pivotal game.
