Arizona Cardinals’ Rookie Receiver Cleared for Upcoming Game

Marvin Harrison Jr., the Arizona Cardinals’ rookie wide receiver, will be seen in action in the Monday night face-off against the Los Angeles Chargers. This news comes in after Harrison successfully cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol, as confirmed by coach Jonathan Gannon on Saturday.

Full Participation in Friday’s Practice

Harrison was fully involved in Friday’s practice session after facing limitations on Thursday, which marked Arizona’s first practice of the week. Throughout this practice, he donned a yellow noncontact jersey. Coach Gannon acknowledged Harrison’s productive week of practice, stating he is fully “prepared to go.”

An Incident During the Green Bay Packers Game

Harrison had to exit the field during the second quarter of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. His departure was due to a collision with linebacker Isaiah McDuffie’s thigh, with a little over six minutes remaining in the half.

Immediate Medical Attention

The Cardinals’ trainers assisted Harrison off the field promptly. Following an assessment in the blue injury tent, he was led to the locker room by a medical team comprised of trainers and doctors. His participation in the rest of the game was ruled out shortly after the commencement of the second half.

Ready for the Chargers Clash

Now, having successfully cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol, Marvin Harrison Jr. is set to return to the field for the Cardinals’ upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
