Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. Exits Packers Game Due to Concussion Woes

Green Bay, Wis. — Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. exited Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers due to a concussion sustained in the second quarter. The injury occurred when Harrison’s head collided with the thigh of Packers linebacker Isaiah McDuffie while attempting to catch a pass.

After the hit, Harrison struggled to regain his footing and ultimately headed to the injury tent. The Cardinals later confirmed he would not return for the remainder of the game.

“He ended up like hitting my leg,” McDuffie explained following the Packers’ 34-13 win. “I went to go tackle him, and he kind of ducked and ended up hitting my quad. It was a weird play.”

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon acknowledged uncertainty regarding the severity of Harrison’s condition after the game. Harrison, who was drafted fourth overall this year, has made significant contributions with 17 receptions for 279 yards and four touchdowns this season.

In addition to Harrison, several other Cardinals players faced injuries during the match, including linebacker Kyzir White (knee), defensive tackle Bilal Nichols (stinger), safety Joey Blount (hamstring), left guard Evan Brown (ankle), and cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting (neck).
