Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Michael Wilson (ankle) and Zay Jones (hamstring) have been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Wilson has been limited in practice this week, but appears to go ready to play. Wilson has put together a quiet season outside of a few good weeks. Jones is set to make his season debut this week and will likely take over the No. 3 wideout role. Wilson figures to take a backseat to Jones or the two of them split up the third receiver role. Either way neither of them carry more than low-end flex appeal heading into this game.
Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play in Week 7 on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to sources. The Cardinals removed Harrison from their final injury report on Saturday. The 22-year-old put in a full practice on Friday, paving the way for him to be cleared on Saturday. It's excellent news for the Cardinals offense and for fantasy managers. The matchup against the Bolts defense isn't ideal, but cornerback Asante Samuel (shoulder) is on Injured Reserve, and they could be without corner Kristian Fulton (hamstring) as well. Harrison has four touchdowns in his first six NFL games, but outside of his 130-yard performance back in Week 2, the talented rookie has been a bit of a disappointment fantasy-wise. Now that he's cleared, fantasy managers will want to return him to starting lineups.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson (ankle) was listed as limited for a second straight practice. The Stanford product caught 2-of-4 targets for 21 yards and a touchdown in last weekend's loss to the Packers, participating on 95% (55) of the team's snaps. It's unknown when he picked up the ankle injury, but it's a boon to his status on Monday night that he's been at least limited to start the week. If Wilson can suit up, he would be in store for a busy day if rookie wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) does not clear the league's protocol. However, the fourth-overall pick was able to ditch his non-contact jersey in Friday's practice, suggesting he's progressing through his recovery. Arizona's final practice report of the week will be one to monitor. If both wideouts are unavailable, Zay Jones, Greg Dortch, and Xavier Weaver will be in line for an uptick in snaps, with tight end Trey McBride likely the biggest benefactor of the depleted target competition.
Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) shed his non-contact jersey and upgraded to a full practice participant on Friday after he was limited on Thursday. Harrison is still working his way through the league's concussion protocol and needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist before being allowed to play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the 22-year-old fourth overall pick is clearly making progress. The young receiver suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers last Sunday and was quickly ruled out, leaving his fantasy managers with a donut. If he's cleared from the protocol on Saturday, fantasy managers should lock him into all starting lineups, even in a difficult matchup against LA. If he's unable to play, Greg Dortch could be a sneaky flex play this weekend with Michael Wilson (ankle) also banged up.
Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) and Michael Wilson (ankle) were both limited in Thursday's practice session. Harrison suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Green Bay Packers and put up a goose egg for his fantasy managers. Still needing to clear the league's concussion protocol in order to play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, Harrison will be a very shaky fantasy option this week. And with Wilson also banged up, Greg Dortch could be a popular streaming option if one or both of Harrison or Wilson are out or limited. Tight end Trey McBride would also have a much higher fantasy ceiling. The next couple days of practice will give us a much better idea of the statuses of Harrison and Wilson for Monday night. Harrison must get clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play against the Bolts.
