Texans acquire Marvin Harrison Jr. ahead of game in London vs. Jaguars

The Houston Texans have strengthened their roster by acquiring wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Arizona Cardinals ahead of their upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. In exchange for Harrison Jr. and a seventh-round draft pick, the Texans gave up a second-round pick to the Cardinals and a sixth-round pick in a deal orchestrated by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter.

Harrison Jr., the 2024 No. 4 draft pick, has never faced the Jaguars in his NFL career. Additionally, he has yet to play against the Jaguars in 2025, as he was sidelined by an injury during a game between the Jaguars and the Cardinals. The Texans' head coach, DeMeco Ryans, announced Harrison Jr.'s acquisition after Sunday's victory over the Tennessee Titans.

The Texans will host the Jaguars at Wembley Stadium, following their Week 5 win against the Titans, which secured a 26-3 victory. In the AFC South, the Texans (1-4) are trailing the Jaguars (4-1) by three games. Harrison Jr.'s potential presence in London remains uncertain at this time. The Texans hold a 32-16 advantage over the Jaguars in all-time meetings, and they have previously faced each other in London, with the Texans emerging victorious in both instances.
