No details have been provided as to which team is receiving Harrison, or what the Cardinals may get in return.
Harrison was drafted by the Cardinals fourth overall in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Ohio State. In his rookie season, he recorded more than 800 receiving yards and eight touchdowns.
His second year was stunted by injuries and illness, including an appendectomy, and he had 608 yards receiving and four touchdowns over 12 games.
In four games with the Cardinals this season, he had five receptions, 85 receiving yards and one touchdown. His lone touchdown came during the Cardinals 36-24 loss to the New York Giants last week.
Harrison was criticized for his lack of production early in the season, where he recorded just one catch in two weeks. He said it’s “obviously a slow start” and wasn’t surprised that people were critical of his performance.
“I understand who I am and what I was expected to do when I got drafted here and all the expectations that were put on me,” he said. “People want certain production, so when that’s not happening, everybody’s going to ask questions or try to figure out why or a reason.”
