Marvin Harrison Jr. cleared to play after concussion protocol
Why it matters: The rookie wide receiver's return provides a boost to the Arizona Cardinals' offense as they face the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
Harrison's progress:
- After being limited in practice on Thursday, he participated fully on Friday, signaling his readiness.
- Coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed that Harrison had a good week of practice and is prepared to take the field.
The injury incident:
- During last Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers, Harrison suffered a concussion following a collision with linebacker Isaiah McDuffie.
- He was assisted off the field, underwent evaluation in the injury tent, and was then escorted to the locker room by trainers and doctors.
- As a result, Harrison was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after the second half began.
Yes, but: Clearing the concussion protocol doesn't guarantee an immediate impact. Harrison will need to regain his rhythm and adjust to the speed of the game.
What to watch: Observing how Harrison performs in his return and whether he can contribute effectively to the Cardinals' passing attack.
What's next: Assuming Harrison remains healthy, he will continue to develop as a key piece of the Cardinals' offense in the coming weeks.
The bottom line: With Harrison cleared to play, the Cardinals gain a talented weapon who can make an impact on the field and provide additional options for quarterback Kyler Murray.
