GLENDALE — Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson are sidelined for the Red & White Practice.

Harrison has now missed the past three days of practice with knee soreness, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. The wide receiver is also dealing with a bug as the team continues to be smart with the WR1, the head coach added Saturday.

He did not seem overly concerned with the issues.

Wilson, meanwhile, is in concussion protocol after a collision with safety Budda Baker during practice on Friday.

Harrison has been among the top standouts this training camp ahead of what many expect to be a stepped-up Year 2 after reeling in 62 receptions for 885 yards and eight touchdowns.

A lot of that can be credited to the work his put in this offseason, bulking up to 220 pounds (up for 209 as a rookie).

Harrison is also seeing the game slow down that much more. Compared to this time last year, he’s much more relaxed and not so “fidgety.”

“Just a lot … calm. It’s allowed me to go out there and just be free a little bit,” Harrison said last week.

His connection with quarterback Kyler Murray can’t be denied, either. Their chemistry has taken a step in the right direction after a ton of time on task this offseason.

With Harrison ad Wilson sidelined for the Red & White Practice, tight end Trey McBride is expected to lead the way for the offense.

Zay Jones should see a fair share of targets, too.

Also sidelined for Arizona include running back James Conner, safety Joey Blount and defensive lineman Calais Campbell.

Well hopefully after today Ossenfort will face the reality of what his offense looks like with Zay Jones and Greg Dorch as his (#1) & (#2) and will finally get around to making a play for Terry McLaurin, or (Amari Cooper, Keenan Allen, or Gabe Davis) somebody, sheesh.. If you are trying to blow out Kyler Murray before the season even starts, just trade him now for cryin-out-loud!
