Cardinals Face Setback as Marvin Harrison Jr. Ruled Out vs Rams

Arizona Cardinals fans received disappointing news ahead of their Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on December 10, 2023. Head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed on Friday that wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will not participate in the game due to a heel injury sustained during last week’s contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Harrison Jr. managed to record six receptions for 69 yards before leaving the field in the fourth quarter, but he could not continue playing through the pain. This injury adds to the growing list of challenges for the Cardinals, who currently hold a 3-9 record for the season.

In addition to Harrison Jr., running back Trey Benson has also been ruled out for the game against the Rams. Benson has been sidelined since Week 4 due to a knee injury and remains uncertain for his return. The Cardinals have set a tentative deadline of December 10 for Benson’s potential comeback, though he has been unable to participate in recent practices, appearing uncomfortable during last month’s open workout.

The Cardinals’ woes extend to their starting quarterback, Kyler Murray, who has not played since Week 6. Murray suffered a foot injury during a game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 5 and is now confirmed to be out for the remainder of the season. The ongoing injury crisis has hindered the team’s performance and dashed any hopes for a playoff run.

As they prepare for their contest against the Rams, who are contending with a 9-3 record, the Cardinals will need to regroup and find new strategies to compete. Despite the disappointing season, the team remains focused on finishing strong.
