Wait And See For Marvin Harrison Jr. As He Works Through Protocol

The development of wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is on hold for now after the rookie banged his head following a play Sunday in Green Bay.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday Harrison was in concussion protocol.

The last time the Cardinals had a pass catcher go into the protocol, tight end Trey McBride missed a game. The Cardinals do have an extra day before their next outing. They play the Chargers on "Monday Night Football" in a week at State Farm Stadium.

Regardless of Harrison's status, the Cardinals did officially put Zay Jones on the 53-man roster Monday, a week after his suspension ended. Jones did appear on the injury report late last week with a hamstring issue.

With the Monday game, the first injury report this week won't be until Thursday.

Harrison came off the field after he was targeted on a pass in the second quarter. The throw was incomplete, and as Harrison fell to the ground his head hit the thigh of a Packers defender. He only had one other target in the game, a pass on the first possession that never had a chance to be completed with Harrison and QB Kyler Murray in miscommunication. Murray took the blame for the mixup.

He is the second high-profile rookie receiver from the most recent draft class to deal with a concussion this early in his career. The Giants' Malik Nabers, who was off to a great start this season, has missed the last two games with a concussion and remains in the protocol.

On the season, Harrison has 17 catches for 279 yards and four touchdowns.
