Football player Marvin Harrison Jr., son of the former NFL star, is set to make his return, potentially featuring in the preseason's first match.
Arizona Cardinals' Marvin Harrison Jr. Expected to Play in Preseason Opener Against Kansas City Chiefs
Marvin Harrison Jr., the talented wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, returned to practice on Tuesday, August 20, after dealing with knee soreness and an illness during the team's preseason preparations. His injury was considered minor, and the team viewed his absences as precautionary.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon expressed optimism about Harrison's recovery, stating that he was "trending in a good direction." Gannon also indicated that he plans to play his starters, including quarterback Kyler Murray, in the preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, August 23. This suggests that Harrison is likely to play or at least be available for the game.
In his rookie season, Harrison played in all 17 games for the Cardinals, starting 16 of them. He finished the season with 62 receptions, accumulating 885 receiving yards and scoring eight touchdowns. His impressive performance earned him a spot as a projected starter for the upcoming season.
However, it's important to note that no updates have been released explicitly confirming Harrison's game-day status since his return to practice. Nevertheless, the trajectory and team statements strongly indicate that he is expected to be active for the preseason opener.
Meanwhile, the Arizona Cardinals will be without another key receiver, Michael Wilson, who is currently sidelined due to a concussion. Wilson, a projected starter, is expected to miss some time, potentially impacting the team's offensive strategy during the preseason.
In a change from last year's approach, Gannon mentioned that he plans to play his starters in the first preseason game. This decision could provide valuable insights into the team's offensive dynamics and the development of its key players, including Harrison, as they gear up for the regular season.
