WATCH: Texans coach DeMeco Ryans confirms Marvin Harrison Jr. trade following Titans wn
Marvin Harrison Jr. is getting traded from the Arizona Cardinals, and DeMeco Ryans confirmed his arrival with the Houston Texans in Week 6.
During a victorious game against the Tennessee Titans, Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans made an unexpected announcement. He revealed that the Texans had traded for Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. for the upcoming Week 6 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Ryans acknowledged the trade rumors and confirmed the move, expressing delight at the prospect of Harrison joining his team.
The trade involved the Texans giving up a 2027 second-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick in exchange for Harrison, who was originally drafted as the fourth overall pick by Arizona. Harrison's college career with Ohio State was marked by strong performances alongside future Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who helped him become an All-American twice.
While Harrison has been the second-best option at wide receiver for Arizona, he has struggled with injuries and has yet to reach the 1,000-yard mark in a single season. The Texans, currently struggling to put together a winning season, see Harrison as a potential solution to their offensive woes. The team will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in a crucial AFC South game, aiming to climb back into contention.
