The Arizona Cardinals will not be without star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr on Sunday after the pass catcher was cleared from concussion protocol.
Harrison Jr left a game on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts after sustaining a blow to the head in the second quarter.
The wideout had spent Thursday in practice in a yellow 'no-contact' jersey as he continued to prepare for a possible return against the Green Bay Packers.
Now, it seems Harrison is healthy enough to play this coming Sunday in what should be a welcome return for a Cardinals offense that is hampered with injuries.
Fellow wideout Zay Jones is on the injury report this week with a knee problem and is questionable for this weekend.
Starting quarterback Kyler Murray also has his status for Sunday listed as questionable after missing games due to a foot injury.
Cardinals star Marvin Harrison Jr has been cleared to play for Arizona against Green Bay
Harrison's return will mark a positive for the Cardinals, who are hampered with injuries
While head coach Jonathan Gannon said Murray was 'doing well', the possibility remains that Jacoby Brissett will start a second-straight week.
Outside of pass catchers and signal callers, the running back room is also dealing with plenty of injuries as well.
Starter James Conner is out for the season with a foot injury, second-stringer Trey Benson is dealing with a knee injury which will keep him out a few more weeks, and third-stringer Emari Demercado has been ruled out for Sunday.
Harrison is currently 25th in the NFL in receiving yards with 338 and has paired that with two touchdowns.
He's only nine yards behind team receiving leader and tight end Trey McBride.
The Cardinals (2-4) are on a four-game losing streak - including an embarrassing collapse to the Tennessee Titans two weeks ago.
