    Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (cramps) returned to practice Tuesday after leaving practice Sunday.

    Harrison left Cardinals practice on Sunday with an apparent injury, meeting with the training staff and working on his back. Head coach Mike LaFleur revealed Harrison’s injury issue as just cramps. In his Tuesday return, Harrison worked as the WR1 in the Cardinals offense, working in 13 personnel and totaling more snaps than Michael Wilson. Harrison looks healthy for now and and enters camp with another chance to be the team’s No. 2 pass-catcher.

    A couple of Cardinals beat reporters chimed in on this one, but the situation is still a little fuzzy. It appears as though Harrison may have tweaked his back, but in a video posted by ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss, Harrison can be seen pointing to his left ankle when he initially met with the Cardinals’ training staff. After that, Harrison did seem to focus his efforts on his back, walking around while attempting to stretch it out, at times “grimacing as he bends backward” and even attempting a yoga cobra pose on the sideline — not kidding. The Cardinals have the day off tomorrow and resume practicing on Tuesday. If we do not get an update before then, his participation that day will at least tell us something. Hopefully, this is a non-issue.

    Weinfuss writes, “in theory, Harrison is Arizona’s WR1 based on draft status and pedigree,” but “Wilson may think otherwise.” Due to TE Trey McBride’s presence, it is “widely important” to establish which player is viewed as the top wide receiver because the “WR2 could, potentially, be the third receiving option, and the third receiving option doesn’t tend to get their fair share of passes.” Wilson has not yet received the contract extension he was hoping for this offseason, which counts against him in the pecking order. Still, it is worth noting that ESPN’s Cardinals beat reporter believes a competition could be underway soon enough.

    “But, obviously, it’s definitely nothing that prevents me from anything at the moment. I go 100%. I’m still out there doing everything I normally would do, but yeah, it’s just like an ongoing process for sure,” Harrison added. He had two heel injuries, appendicitis, and a concussion while missing five games last year. There doesn’t seem to be any specific reason for concern here, but this is not the type of thing you normally see an NFL player admit, so it’s eye-catching.

    LaFleur is a Sean McVay understudy, having spent the last three seasons serving as the Rams’ offensive coordinator. He worked with Adams for one year. Harrison (6'3/220) is a natural fit for the X-receiver role in any system, but he has been nowhere near as efficient as Adams was last season, so we can’t simply take this one to the bank. At this point, we’ll settle for reliable fantasy WR3 production. All that said, if LaFleur is saying he plans to feature Harrison in the red zone, akin to the way Adams was used in Los Angeles, we suppose a ceiling outcome could be in play for the Cardinals’ 23-year-old receiver. We’re keeping an eye on Harrison’s development this summer.

    Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Harrison would continue to play through his heel injury this week if he was healthy enough. It turns out that the 23-year-old receiver isn’t healthy enough after hurting his other foot in the Week 17 loss to the Bengals. Harrison wasn’t having much of an impact with one catch in the last two games since returning to the lineup. With Harrison out, Michael Wilson is a must-start option for fantasy managers. Wilson is the WR3 over the last seven weeks behind only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He needs 93 yards in Week 18 to have his first 1,000-yard season.
  • ARI Wide Receiver #18
    It certainly seems like forcing Harrison to play through this heel injury isn’t helping anybody — he’s caught one ball in two games since returning, leaving each of them early — but Gannon refused to rule it out. Either way, Trey McBride and Michael Wilson are the Cardinals you actually want to start in fantasy leagues in Week 18. Harrison would be hard to trust if active.

    Trying to gut through what is very clearly a painful issue, MHJ was barely on the field before being announced as being hurt again and never returning. He will now almost certainly be shut down ahead of Week 18 against the Rams, clearing the way for Trey McBride and Michael Wilson to go bonkers in fantasy one final time this season. Stay tuned.
  • ARI Wide Receiver #18
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter has reported MHJ will be on a snap count, making him a volatile WR3 for what fantasy managers are hoping will be a shootout in Cincinnati. Inactive for the Cardinals are K Joshua Karty, S Budda Baker, CB Kei’Trel Clark, CB Kalen King, TE Pharaoh Brown, OL Evan Brown and DL P.J. Mustipher.

    Harrison Jr. played through the heel issue last week. He was on a pitch count for that game as well, taking the field for 29-of-47 offensive snaps. MHJ was largely subbed out on running plays. He still logged a route rate of 79 percent. The biggest change in the offense with his return was the decline of Michael Wilson, who had been putting up WR1 numbers in MHJ’s absence. Wilson was relegated to field-stretching duties, though he did manage to find the end zone on one of his two grabs. MHJ is barely a WR5 after seeing just three targets last week. Wilson isn’t much higher in the ranks, having also seen three looks in Week 16.
  • ARI Wide Receiver #18
    He got in three limited sessions this week — the same as last week — and clearly is trying to play through the injury. Given his lack of production on Sunday (1/14) and the lack of production of late, it would make sense to break ties against Harrison in Championship Week lineups.

    Bengals released OT Cody Ford.

    Ford has played in 50 of a possible 51 regular-season games for the Bengals since first joining the team in 2023, while making 10 starts over that span. The veteran lineman has started just 42 games in his career since being drafted in the second round by the Bills in 2019 and is unlikely to be viewed as anything more than a depth piece at this point in his career. Ford has started nine or fewer games in every year outside of his rookie campaign and has versatility to play as a tackle or along the interior.

    TreVeyon Henderson left Monday’s practice early.

    According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, Henderson slipped on the field while making a cut and left the field. The second-year back was reportedly getting his right foot/ankle/leg checked out by trainers, but we are still waiting for more information on his status. Henderson is expected to again find himself in a 50-50 backfield split with Rhamondre Stevenson this season, but any absence would immediately raise the weekly expectations for Stevenson for as long as Henderson is out. Hopefully this isn’t anything too serious, we will be sure to provide an update when we receive one.

    Panthers HC Dave Canales said the team will use a running back by committee approach if Chuba Hubbard (hamstring) and Jonathon Brooks are both available.

    Hubbard is still working his way back from a hamstring injury that has sidelined him since mid-August, but if the 27-year-old back is good to go, he is expected to see work alongside Jonathon Brooks, who seems to finally be healthy after an injury-plagued start to his first three years in the league. An RBBC situation would be a pain for fantasy managers to navigate during the early part of the season, but if it comes down to it, hopefully we will get an early sense of how Canales plans to deploy both backs so we can better understand their viability for fantasy purposes.

    Steelers HC Mike McCarthy said the Steelers are at an “impasse” with CB Joey Porter Jr. on contract extension talks.

    In an article published by ESPN’s Brooke Pryor, Pryor writes that a source familiar with the situation shared there “hasn’t been meaningful progress on extension talks.” The 26-year-old corner has spent all of training camp on the active/PUP list with a back injury, but we haven’t heard much about him since. Despite the current situation between Porter and the Steelers, the team said it has neither received nor made any trade calls regarding the star corner. Porter still needs to be activated off the PUP list in order to be ready for the start of the season.

    49ers owner Jed York was arrested on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct and possession criminal tools on Sunday.

    According to an NBC4 article, York was arrested in East Palestine, Ohio, and found guilty of both charges after pleading no contest. NBC’s Matt Maiocco later reported that Ohio court records say York was charged with engaging in prostitution under statute 2907.231. York was ordered to spend two days in jail and pay $1,150 in fines. This is still a developing story, and York’s attorney and the Niners have not yet commented on the situation.

    Shedeur Sanders will start the season as the QB2 for the Browns.

    Multiple outlets reported on Monday that Deshaun Watson would be the starter for Week 1 against the Jaguars, with Sanders as the backup. Sanders was solid in his second preseason game, completing 9-of-11 passes for 74 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in one half of play, but this camp battle was always expected to work in Watson’s favor, barring an obvious breakout by Sanders in camp. While it’s not the result Sanders and his fantasy managers hoped for, Watson’s job is anything but secure. He’ll start in Week 1, but the veteran QB will likely be evaluated on a week-to-week basis, meaning head coach Todd Monken could turn the job over to Sanders at any point in time.

    Dolphins WR Chris Bell was seen without a non-contact jersey at Monday’s practice.

    It’s yet another encouraging sign for Bell, who was activated off the PUP list last Monday after recovering from a torn ACL he suffered during his 2025 season at Louisville. The rookie third-rounder has been getting up to speed since making his return and could have a chance to contribute to the Dolphins’ offense later this season.

    Steelers activated CB Jalen Ramsey from the active/PUP list.

    Ramsey was placed on the PUP list due to a knee injury he suffered in minicamp, but it never sounded like this would be something that could keep him out for an extended period of time. The 31-year-old corner will presumably resume practicing with the team this week and should be in good shape for Week 1’s game against the Falcons barring any setback.

    Saints signed K Daniel Carlson, formerly of the Raiders.

    It would appear that the winner of the kicking competition that took place in training camp between Tanner Brown and Charlie Smyth is the man who wasn’t there. Carlson, who has remained unsigned since his contract with the Raiders expired at the end of last season, is now expected to take over as the Saints’ starting kicker for the season. Currently the 10th-most accurate kicker in NFL history, Carlson converted 22-of-27 field goal attempts last season, with three of his misses coming from 50-plus yards. Carlson still possesses one of the biggest legs in the league and should benefit from kicking in the friendly confines of the Superdome this season.

    NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports the Browns plan to name Deshaun Watson as their starter for Week 1 against the Jaguars.

    This is coming from multiple reports, per Schultz. We’ll eventually get word from head coach Todd Monken on the decision, but it sounds like Watson, who was the favorite to win the battle entering training camp, will get the first crack at the starting job. Watson completed 16-of-27 passes for no touchdowns and one interception in his two preseason appearances, and struggled in last week’s outing against the Bills while playing with backups. Despite being booed off the field after a disappointing performance in front of a home crowd, the 30-year-old vet, who is in the final year of a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed contract, will get the chance to show he can lead the Browns in 2026. Watson shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes, but he has some exciting offensive weapons to throw to in Denzel Boston, KC Concepcion, and Harold Fannin.
