    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.

    Cowboys TE Princeton Fant (knee) was carted off the practice field Monday.

    Fant was engaged in a block during practice and took the brunt of a knee-to-knee collision. He was unable to place weight on his left leg, requiring the cart to depart the practice field. Fant will undergo further testing to determine the extent of the injury. The special teams contributor has appeared in 11 games since signing as an undrafted free agent in 2023.

    Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (undisclosed) did not practice Monday.

    By all accounts, Wilson has been a beast on the field for the Cardinals through the early portions of camp, with multiple beat reporters hinting at the potential for him to end the 2026 season as the team’s leading wide receiver. The injury was not disclosed but Wilson was seen on the sideline in sweats cheering on his fellow receivers through position drills. It doesn’t appear to be something that could jeopardize his status as one of the team’s top pass catchers as the regular season inches closer, but fantasy managers will want to track his status in the coming days.

    Rams TE Davis Allen (quadricep) missed practice Monday.

    Speaking to media Monday, head coach Sean McVay relayed that it would be “some time” before Allen returns to the practice field considering the nature of the soft tissue injury. McVay added, “You don’t want to rush him back, Davis is going to be a big part of what we do this year.” Allen set career highs in his third professional season in 2025, catching 24 passes for 208 yards and three touchdowns, ranking second on the team in offensive snaps behind only Colby Parkinson.

    Ravens HC Jesse Minter said “I don’t know that there’s a deadline” in naming a starting center.

    “On of them in the mix of the battle is coming off an injury. That timeline may or may not be perfect for that first game,” Minter relayed via the team’s website Monday. Recent signee Ethan Pocic is coming off a torn Achilles in Week 14 of the 2025 season but possesses the most starting experience of the players battling to supplant longtime starter Tyler Linderbaum following his departure in free agency. Minter’s comments, while slightly vague, seem to point towards Pocic as the desired starter, assuming his injury recovery continues to progress without hiccup. Fellow free agent additions Danny Pinter and Jovaughn Gwyn will compete with Pocic for the starting role.

    Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur said the team is being cautious with Trey Benson after he had a “flare up” in his surgically repaired knee.

    Benson had in-season meniscus surgery last season and never returned to the field. LaFleur said the team doesn’t anticipate this flare-up becoming a multi-week issue, but they’re clearly going to do what they need to do to help him manage things. Benson is competing for touches with James Conner and Tyler Allgeier in camp, but there’s been some belief that the Cardinals could keep four running backs on the final roster when all is said and done. Benson has a career rushing line of 92-451-1 through his first two seasons in the league.

    Patriots activated RB Terrell Jennings from the active/non-football injury list.

    Jennings is good to go after an undisclosed injury sidelined him for the first week of training camp. The third-year back is expected to compete for RB3 duties this season.

    NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports Browns WR KC Concepcion is expecting “to be fine” after appearing to injure his shoulder on Monday.

    Concepcion landed hard on his right shoulder near the end of Monday’s practice and was in visible pain while making his way to the sideline. Despite the initial scare, it doesn’t appear this is anything too serious. The rookie receiver has made a strong early impression in training camp and is one of the more intriguing late-round dart throws in fantasy drafts this season.

    Broncos HC Sean Payton said “there’s no hurry” to bring in free agent TE/QB Taysom Hill.

    Payton acknowledged that he will speak to Hill in five days when the two meet at Canton for Drew Brees’ Hall of Fame induction, and Payton is planning to gauge whether Hill is interested in playing another season. The 35-year-old offensive weapon made a name for himself in Payton’s offense from 2018 to 2021, and continued to be a primary contributor for the Saints long after Payton left. Hill will turn 36 before the start of the season and has had a quiet offseason thus far after his contract expired at the end of the 2025 season.

    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Mike Evans’ quad strain is “very minor.”

    Given the way injuries have piled up for the 49ers during their first week of camp, this is pretty good news. Evans, 32, could miss a few days due to his injury, but the veteran receiver isn’t expected to miss any significant time. Evans was having a strong first few days of camp before his injury and should be firmly in the conversation as a WR2 for fantasy this season.

    KC Concepcion left Monday’s practice with a shoulder injury.

    Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot posted a video to her X account on Monday, where Concepcion can be seen walking to the sideline with a trainer while holding his right shoulder. We don’t know much beyond what we saw on Cabot’s video, so this will be one to keep an eye on. Concepcion has enjoyed a strong camp with the Browns through the first week and is expected to be a focal point in the offense in his rookie year under Todd Monken.
