Marvin Harrison Jr. was a limited participant in Thursday’s practice, but the Arizona Cardinals wide receiver remains in concussion protocol. Arizona will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night.
Harrison suffered a concussion in Week 6 and wore a non-contact jersey during practice. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said it was “really encouraging” to see the rookie back on the field.
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray targeted Harrison with a pass over the middle in the second quarter of their 34-13 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander broke up the pass and knocked Harrison to the turf. As Harrison fell, the crown of his helmet struck linebacker Isaiah McDuffie in the thigh, causing his head to snap back.
Harrison stood up after the blow, clearly dazed. He immediately fell back on the grass.
He went to the medical tent on the sideline and then left for the locker room with athletic trainers. The Cardinals announced before halftime that he was being evaluated for a concussion and ruled him out before the start of the third quarter.
Nabers was cleared to return for Giants
The New York Giants welcomed wide receiver Malik Nabers back to practice on Thursday. The rookie wideout was a full participant and subsequently visited an independent neurological consultant, who released him from the concussion protocol.
Nabers suffered a concussion during the Giants’ Week 4 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He has missed the past two games but looks to return for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Nagging hamstring bothers Bucs’ Evans
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans did not practice Thursday after straining a hamstring. Head coach Todd Bowles said the injury was “nagging” but that Evans should be well enough to play Monday night against the Baltimore Ravens.
According to Bowles, Evans “pinched” the leg in their Week 6 win over the New Orleans Saints.
Taylor will miss another week with Colts
The high ankle sprain suffered by Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor will keep him out of the lineup for Week 7.
Taylor hasn’t played since Week 4 against the Pittsburgh Steelers and has yet to return to the practice field.
“Once they said high ankles, I knew high ankles usually last four to six (weeks), but you know, me, dealing with different rehab treatments and injuries, I thought, ‘That can’t be possible,'” Taylor said Thursday. I have to just doing everything in my power to reduce that every day.”
Here’s the rest of the Week 7 injury report.
