Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. will miss Sunday’s contest vs. the San Francisco 49ers after undergoing surgery Monday night due to appendicitis. It’s unclear whether this will be a one game, or multi-game absence at this point.
The talented wideout sits second on the team in receiving with 34 catches, for 525 yards and 4 TDs. He trails only tight end Trey McBride in those offensive categories.
Losing Harrison seems to be par for the course for Arizona this year as they continue to navigate a lengthy injury list in 2025. Last week alone the team lost Darius Robinson (groin), Dadrion Taylor-Demerson (ankle), Walter Nolen (knee), Johan Williams (shoulder), Bam Knight (ankle), Zay Jones (Achilles), and Simi Fehoko (arm).
Not to mention the fact that the team will once again start backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett as Kyler Murray rehabs a lingering foot issue. Linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. will also sit out a second consecutive week with a rib injury.
“It’s life in the NFL,” head coach Jonathan Gannon said. “It’s our job to put a plan together, get the guys ready to go and go out and compete and win. That’s the job.”
San Francisco is dealing with a rash of injuries themselves, but still sit as -165 favourites in their road game vs. the 3-6 Cardinals.
