The Arizona Cardinals are making wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. a healthy scratch for their game on Sunday because they’re looking to trade him, and that’s not even the worst news hitting the team right now. It’s a shocking move for a talent like Harrison Jr., and it definitely signals a wild shift in their season plans.
The Injury Woes Just Piled Up
On top of the Harrison Jr. bombshell, the Cardinals just dropped even more brutal news for their offensive line. Right guard Isaiah Adams is officially on injured reserve with an ankle injury, meaning he’s out for at least the next four games. Jon Gaines II is gonna step in to start in his place. But wait, there’s more. Left tackle Paris Johnson is totally done for the season with a torn left biceps. Ouch. They’re throwing rookie Jayden Williams into the starting lineup to fill that massive hole. Talk about an uphill battle. To round out the roster moves, they also signed cornerback Art Green from the practice squad to their active roster.
Arizona’s Season Is Getting Wild Fast
So yeah, the Cardinals’ Sunday game is gonna be… interesting. Losing two starting offensive linemen, with one of them, Johnson, out for the entire season, is a huge hit to their protection and run game. Add to that the absolute stunner of Harrison Jr. being a healthy scratch because the team is actively trying to move him, and you’ve got a team in flux. It’s gonna be a big test for Gaines II and Williams to step up, and the team will have to figure out their offensive identity without a major piece of their receiving corps.
