It’s hard to miss how quickly the Marvin Harrison Jr. conversation has turned.
Not long ago, the Arizona Cardinals receiver looked like a can’t-miss superstar coming out of Ohio State. Now, the talk around him is headed in a much different direction, with his effort being questioned and his future in Arizona suddenly looking less certain. Around the league, executives are apparently wondering how much longer Harrison will stay with the Cardinals as the team works to build its culture and could look to recoup whatever value it can.
If Arizona does decide to move on from the former No. 4 overall pick, a few landing spots stand out as potential places to restart his career.
Houston is the cleanest fit on the board. Harrison already has a built-in connection there, having been the top target for CJ Stroud during Stroud’s final season at Ohio State.
A reunion would give the Texans a familiar quarterback-receiver pairing, and the timing could make sense too. Houston has been hit hard at wideout, with Nico Collins missing Week 2 because of a hamstring injury and potentially more time, Tank Dell working back from a knee injury suffered during the 2024 season, and Jayden Higgins out for the year with an ACL injury.
The Texans need receiver help, and Harrison alongside Stroud would be a logical match.
The Las Vegas Raiders also belong in the mix. They’ve already outperformed expectations early this season, and the receiver group has helped them do it.
Through the first two games in 2026, Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, and Cody White have all caught touchdown passes, and that’s been enough for Kirk Cousins while Brock Bowers has not yet impacted the lineup. Still, that’s not exactly the kind of receiver room you’d want to build around long term.
Las Vegas has the freedom to take on the risk-reward bet with Harrison, especially with Klint Kubiak calling the offense and a franchise quarterback in waiting who would love a true go-to target.
Then there’s the Indianapolis Colts, a possibility that feels both funny and fitting. Marvin Harrison Jr.’s father was a franchise legend in Indianapolis, and the idea of the son landing there would carry plenty of weight.
The Colts could use the help after Alec Pierce went down with an injury in a Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Keenan Allen alone isn’t enough to carry the receiver room this season. Shane Steichen has already shown that his offense can bring out the best in the weapons he has, which makes Indianapolis an intriguing place for a legacy player to try to match the name on the back of his jersey.

Tim Tebow Faces Serious Questions As Off-Field Controversy Grows
Tim Tebow is dealing with a very different kind of spotlight these days, one tied not to football but to his off-field work. The former Broncos quarterback has been connected to Life Surge, the Christian group now facing allegations that it pressured people into expensive financial advice programs that offered little in return. Tebow has said he is taking the claims seriously and is stepping back from his involvement while an investigation plays out.
Life Surge has denied the allegations, and Tebow has been a featured speaker at multiple events for the organization in recent years. For a public figure who has long blended faith, charity and celebrity, the situation adds another layer of scrutiny to a profile that has often drawn attention well beyond the game. For now, the central question is how far this controversy reaches and what it means for the relationship he had built with the group. [Read more 🡒]
Broncos Lose Promising Rookie Back Just As His Role Was Growing
Jonah Colemans role in Denver was starting to grow at just the right time, and the rookie running back had shown enough against Jacksonville to suggest the Broncos had found a useful piece in their backfield rotation. He played through the game despite a high-ankle sprain, finishing with 39 rushing yards, a touchdown and three catches, the kind of all-purpose effort that usually earns a young player more trust in the weeks ahead.
Instead, the Broncos will have to navigate the next stretch without him after placing Coleman on short-term injured reserve. The timetable points to a return in late October against the Arizona Cardinals, which gives Denver a clear target while leaving the backfield picture a little thinner in the meantime. [Read more 🡒]
Broncos Suddenly Face A Bigger Davante Adams Problem
Puka Nacuas soft tissue injury has already changed the shape of the Rams passing game, and it leaves Denver preparing for a heavier Davante Adams workload than it likely would have seen otherwise. Adams has been more productive when Nacua is off the field, which gives Sean Paytons defense a different kind of problem to solve heading into the matchup.
The Broncos are expected to answer with Pat Surtain II shadowing Adams and by trying to make life uncomfortable for Matthew Stafford, whose mobility remains limited. Even so, the chess match can turn quickly if Adams starts finding room early, because Denvers game plan depends on keeping Stafford under pressure while limiting the one receiver the Rams can lean on most in this setup.
