Football player Marvin Harrison Jr., son of the retired NFL star Marvin Harrison Sr., is slated to make his comeback, potentially taking the field for the preseason opener with his team, the Arizona Cardinals.
Marvin Harrison Jr. Expected to Return for Arizona Cardinals' Preseason Opener
Marvin Harrison Jr., the young star wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals, is set to make his return from a knee soreness injury in time for the team's preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.
Harrison, who was the fourth overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, had missed multiple practices earlier in August due to knee soreness and a mild illness. The team has been cautious in managing his injury, prioritising rest and smart recovery.
Head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed Harrison's return to practice on August 5, noting that he is moving well and having a strong training camp overall. Despite the missed practices, the latest updates indicate that Harrison's condition is trending positively and does not currently threaten his availability for the season's start.
In his rookie season with the Cardinals, Harrison finished with 885 receiving yards, scoring 8 touchdowns and making 62 receptions. He played in all 17 games for Arizona, starting 16 of them.
Meanwhile, another receiver for the Cardinals, Michael Wilson, is currently sidelined due to a concussion. The specific duration of Wilson's recovery and return to practice has not been disclosed.
In a change from last year, coach Gannon has announced his plan to play his starters for some amount of time in the first preseason game. The exact duration has not been specified, but it's expected that Harrison will get some game time as he continues to recover from his injury.
With Harrison's return, the Cardinals' offense looks set to be in good shape for the preseason opener against the Chiefs. Let's hope for a successful comeback for the promising young receiver.
Marvin Harrison Jr., expected to get some game time in the upcoming preseason opener, has shown a strong training camp performance after recovering from a knee injury and missing practices earlier in August. His comeback will be a significant boost to the Arizona Cardinals' offensive lineup in American football, particularly as they face the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL. If Harrison can score a touchdown in this game, it will surely be a cause for celebration for Cardinals fans.
