New angle of Marvin Harrison Jr. injury is as frightening as it gets for Cardinals

The Kyler Murray-Marvin Harrison Jr. connection should only grow with time. The Arizona Cardinals selected the Ohio State wide receiver in the top-5 of the NFL Draft for a reason, as he was the top-rated target in this class, much to the dismay of New York Giants rookie Malik Nabers.

However, Harrison Jr. has proven explosive to start the season. The Cardinals still have plenty to work on, especially defensively under Jonathan Gannon, but Harrison Jr. looks like the real deal so far. Murray, meanwhile, has moments where he plays like a No. 1 overall pick, and others that leave us scratching out heads. Such is the life of a young quarterback.

Marvin Harrison Jr. removed with a stunning concussion

In the second half of Arizona's game against the Green Bay Packers, Harrison Jr. took a rough hit to the head, and had to be removed from the contest. The slow-motion replay didn't do Cardinals fans any favors. Harrison Jr. has since been ruled out with a concussion, and it's easy to see why.

The hit by the Packers secondary wasn't illegal by any means, but more so bad luck. Harrison Jr. ducked into said hit, which knocked him out of the game entirely.

The Cardinals did not put Harrison Jr. back into the game. Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch are next on the Arizona depth chart if called upon. The Cards drafted Harrison Jr. with the hope of providing Murray with as much help as possible. If he fails with this receiving corps, then perhaps he is not their franchise quarterback after all.

Harrison Jr. is the son of former NFL wide receiver Marvin Harrison, a Pro Football Hall of Fame talent in his own right. Harrison Jr. starred at Ohio State, catching passes from the likes of Kyle McCord last season. If he could make McCord look good (now at Syracuse), he can surely do the same for Murray.
