Cardinals on Edge as Key WR Exits Game with Significant Injury Against Packers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. exited the game on Sunday due to a concussion after colliding with the thigh of Green Bay Packers linebacker Isaiah McDuffie.

Following an incomplete pass in the second quarter, Harrison attempted to get up but appeared to stumble. He then went to the injury tent and later walked into the tunnel. The Cardinals announced early in the second half that he would not return to the game.

“It was a strange play,” McDuffie said after the Packers’ 34-13 victory. “I went to tackle him, and he ducked, which caused him to hit my quad.”

So far this season, Harrison has recorded 17 receptions for 279 yards and four touchdowns. The Cardinals selected him fourth overall in this year’s draft from Ohio State.
