Cardinals’ Week 14 Injury Picture Darkens as Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey Benson Miss Second Straight Practice

Harrison’s status for Sunday is uncertain, with Benson approaching a Dec. 10 activation cutoff.

Overview

  • Marvin Harrison Jr. was a non-participant Thursday for a second straight day due to a heel injury sustained in his Week 13 return from an appendectomy.
  • Coach Jonathan Gannon described Harrison’s heel issue as a tricky, day-to-day injury that looks worse when walking or jogging than when running.
  • Trey Benson also missed practice again while in his 21-day return window from IR and must be activated by Dec. 10 to avoid ending his season.
  • Emari Demercado returned to limited work after two missed games, while Arizona’s Wednesday report listed eight players as DNPs.
  • If Harrison is out, Michael Wilson is expected to lead the receiving corps after posting 25 catches for 303 yards during Harrison’s two-game absence, and Bam Knight and Michael Carter remain poised to handle backfield snaps.
