Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. out a 2nd straight day

GLENDALE — Arizona Cardinals second-year receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was not on the practice field Friday, his second consecutive day missed.

“Little bit of (knee) soreness. He’s OK, kind of day to day,” head coach Jonathan Gannon said a day earlier. “Going to be smart with him.”

Before being put on ice Thursday, Harrison had been one of the main standouts this training camp.

In addition to his bulked-up frame, the wide receiver has looked much more comfortable than he did this time last year.

“I would say a lot more relaxed. Not as nervous and fidgety,” the wideout said last week. “A lot more relaxed, calm. It’s allowed me to go out there and be free a little bit.”

Harrison has also been utilized that much more in pre-snap motions and is lining up across all three receiving spots so far this camp.

The added wrinkles should help put him in a position to improve upon his rookie numbers of 62 catches for 885 yards and eight touchdowns.

“I just always want to be a better player overall,” Harrison said. “Keep doing my best to help the team accomplish our goals. Like I said, comes down to just winning. I want to win as a team, individually, just want to win. That’s what it comes down to.”

In addition to Harrison, the Cardinals have been smart with backup offensive linemen Valentin Senn and Jake Curhan.

Neither was participating on Friday.

Another day of Trey (McBride) with Marvin Harrison Jr. sidelined

With Harrison sidelined, the Cardinals offense once again saw a heavy dose of tight end Trey McBride.

He continues to prove why he’s in consideration as one of the league’s best with each stacked practice.

Aside from McBride, Michael Wilson — serving as Arizona’s WR1 — got plenty of targets.

Crisis averted?

Speaking of Wilson, the wide receiver left practice early after colliding with safety Budda Baker.

Both went down before getting up under their own power. Baker stayed on the field, while Wilson headed to the locker room.

We’ll likely hear more on Wilson’s status on Saturday.

A bomb from Brissett

Arguably the top play of Day 8 came from backup quarterback Jacoby Brissett and wide receiver Trishton Jackson.

During situational 11-on-11 work near the end of practice, Brissett found Jackson down the sideline for the contested catch.

After missing on some balls earlier the past couple of days, it was good to see Brissett connect on one during Friday’s action.
