Colts' Had Interest in Marvin Harrison Jr. But Couldn't Pay The Price
Some NFL evaluators said Houston gave up too much for the former first-round pick, who struggled in Arizona before a fresh start with C.J. Stroud.
- On Wednesday, wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. completed his first practice with the Houston Texans after being traded from the Arizona Cardinals earlier this week, preparing for his Week 6 debut against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.
- The trade ends Harrison's disappointing stint in Arizona, where he caught just five passes for 85 yards through four games this season; Texans General Manager Nick Caserio acquired him by sending a 2027 second-round pick and swapping later-round selections.
- Reunited with college teammate and Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, Harrison expressed optimism about the move, telling reporters, "Great situation for me, being with quarterback you have rapport with."
- Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans praised Harrison's work ethic and quick adaptation to the playbook on Wednesday, confirming he will play in Week 6 but noting the team will keep his debut simple.
- The acquisition positions the Texans to strengthen their sixth-ranked passing offense as Stroud continues his contract year, though success may depend on improving a running game currently averaging 3.4 yards per clip.
