The Cardinals agreed to trade Harrison and a seventh-round pick to the Texans for second- and sixth-round selections, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Since Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday that Arizona had agreed to deal Harrison to an undisclosed team, Houston had been bandied about in the rumor mill as the organization in question. Now, the move to the AFC South has been confirmed. With his new team, Harrison may need some time to acclimate himself to a new scheme and QB C.J. Stroud, but the fourth overall pick in the 2024 is a decent gamble for a Texans team in search of a consistent second WR option behind No. 1 Nico Collins.
A trade for Harrison will not be completed "until after Sunday's games are played," but the Cardinals "feel comfortable enough" knowing it will occur that they will deactivate him for Sunday's game against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Harrison's long-term outlook is firmly up in the air after it was announced earlier Saturday that he will be traded to an unspecified team, but per the latest report, "The one certainty is that Harrison's time in Arizona is done." Michael Wilson and Trey McBride figure to remain plenty busy in the passing game, and Harrison's absence will open up some opportunities for Kendrick Bourne and presumably Jalen Brooks.
Everyone sharing the ball with Marvin, most valuable first.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
The Cardinals are "finalizing a deal to trade Harrison" to an unspecified team, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Harrison's destination is unclear, but he is on the move after spending two seasons and the early portion of the current campaign in Arizona. Per the report, the Cardinals informed Harrison "that he will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions as details of the trade are finalized," so one way or another he will not see action in Week 5.
Harrison failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.
Harrison was held without a reception for the second time in three regular-season contests dating back to Week 17 of the 2025 campaign. The wide receiver has now gone four straight regular-season games without recording multiple receptions, and quarterback Jacoby Brissett clearly prefers other options like tight end Trey McBride and fellow wideout Michael Wilson over Harrison again in 2026. It's hard to be confident in the 24-year-old former first-round pick heading into the team's Week 3 matchup with San Francisco.
Harrison brought in one of three targets for 33 yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Harrison's one reception was impressive, as he corralled a perfect over-the-shoulder throw from Jacoby Brissett down the left sideline on the Cardinals' second play of the second half to help set up a Chad Ryland field goal. Harrison's low target total was far from ideal, however, as all of Michael Wilson, Kendrick Bourne, Trey McBride and even rookie Jeremiyah Love outpaced him in that regard. Nevertheless, Harrison's upside requires he be kept in fantasy consideration when the Cardinals host the defending champion Seahawks in a Week 2 NFC West clash next Sunday.
Harrison is listed as a starter on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart.
This comes as no surprise considering Harrison's standing as the fourth overall pick in the 2024 Draft and his average of 6.5 targets per game through two seasons in the NFL. However, he has yet to take off, even with QB Jacoby Brissett under center for most of the 2025 campaign, as heel and foot injuries contained him to only three appearances in the final eight contests. Harrison has had a clean bill of health since late July, and with a full training camp working with Brissett and fellow WR Michael Wilson, the trio is set to hit the ground running Week 1 under new coach Mike LaFleur.
