Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. collapsed on the field and left Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers following an inadvertent hit to the head on a pass play.
The play took place in the second quarter. Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray targeted Harrison on a pass over the middle. Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander broke up the pass and knocked Harrison to the turf. As Harrison fell, the crown of his helmet hit Packers linebacker Isiah McDuffie in the thigh, sending his head snapping backward.
Harrison got up after the hit, clearly dazed. He immediately fell back to the turf.
He went to the sideline medical tent and then left for the locker room with trainers. The Cardinals announced before halftime that he was being evaluated for a concussion but didn’t immediately rule him out.
An injury would be a tough blow for Harrison in his sixth NFL game and for a Cardinals team struggling to move the ball. A first-round rookie, Harrison was Arizona’s leading receiver through Week 5 with 17 catches for 279 yards and four touchdowns. The Cardinals went into halftime against the Packers trailing, 24-10.
