Marvin Harrison Jr. Misses Game Due to Appendicitis Surgery

The Arizona Cardinals face a significant challenge as they prepare to take on the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday. Their wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will be sidelined due to recent appendicitis surgery.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Undergoes Surgery

This week, Marvin Harrison Jr. was diagnosed with appendicitis, leading to an immediate surgical intervention. Head coach Jonathan Gannon confirmed that Harrison will miss Week 11, as the team assesses his condition moving forward.

Injury Impact on the Team

The absence of Harrison adds to the Cardinals’ roster challenges. Recently, Zay Jones suffered a torn Achilles, complicating their receiving lineup further. Additionally, Simi Fehoko is headed to injured reserve due to a wrist injury.

Current Roster Status

The remaining healthy wide receivers include:

  • Michael Wilson
  • Greg Dortch
  • Xavier Weaver

Given these injuries, it is likely the Cardinals will make strategic roster moves ahead of their game against the 49ers on Sunday. The coaching staff is actively evaluating options to strengthen their receiving corps for this crucial matchup.
