Cardinals’ Marvin Harrison Jr. expected to play vs. Chargers

The Arizona Cardinals have been a fairly difficult team to peg in the first six weeks of the 2024-25 season. They have shown signs of growth in their divisional wins against the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, and looked solid in defeat versus the Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions. Though, blowout losses to the Washington Commanders and Green Bay Packers indicate that there is still a long road ahead. A healthy and involved Marvin Harrison Jr. could help this squad gets back on course.

The rookie wide receiver has cleared concussion protocol and will play for the Cardinals for their Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. He exited last Sunday’s game versus the Packers in the first half and did not return. Despite only eclipsing 70 yards one time this season, Harrison remains the key to potentially unlocking Arizona’s offense.

His inconsistent production coincides with that of his team. Ideally, Week 7 will mark a turning point for both him and quarterback Kyler Murray, who has thrown for more than 250 passing yards just once this year.
