The Aporia · Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will be inactive vs. Lions, AP source says as trade rumors swirl

Marvin Harrison Jr., the Arizona Cardinals' wide receiver and former No. 4 overall draft pick, will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions due to trade rumors and poor performance this season. The 24-year-old has only five catches for 85 yards and a touchdown in four games this year, leading to decreased playing time as other receivers like Michael Wilson gain prominence.

Story summary

Marvin Harrison Jr., the No. 4 overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2024 NFL Draft and son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, will be inactive for Week 5 against the Detroit Lions as the team nears a potential trade involving him. According to ESPN, Harrison has caught just five passes for 85 yards and one touchdown in his first four games this season, marking a decline from his rookie year when he recorded 885 yards and eight touchdowns. The Cardinals are reportedly considering trades with teams like the 49ers or Raiders who could use an upgrade at receiver. Harrison's recent hiring of agents Todd France and Tory Dandy also indicates his readiness for a potential move. While coach Mike LaFleur has supported Harrison, the emergence of other receivers like Michael Wilson has reduced Harrison’s playing time significantly.
