TEMPE, Ariz. – Cardinals<\/a> coach Jonathan Gannon was vague at best on Friday when addressing the health of his two biggest stars.<\/p>\n

Both quarterback Kyler Murray<\/a> and wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr<\/a>. are dealing with injuries this week that could keep them out of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers<\/a> at State Farm Stadium.<\/p>\n

When asked how Murray’s foot injury, which kept him out of last weekend’s game at the Indianapolis Colts<\/a>, has been progressing this week, Gannon responded with: “Good. Good. He’s doing well.”<\/p>\n

He was asked what he’s looking for from Murray over the next couple of days to decide whether he could play and Gannon said: “Same.” Although it was unclear what he was referring to. And when Gannon was asked whether he envisions knowing Saturday night – like he said he did last week – or Sunday morning if Murray will play, Gannon answered with: “See how it goes.”<\/p>\n

The third-year head coach, whose team is off to a 2-4 start after losing its last four games, wasn’t much clearer when it came to Harrison’s status.<\/p>\n

Harrison went down in the second quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Colts with a concussion. He left the game and didn’t return. He was wearing a yellow no-contact jersey at Thursday’s practice. Gannon said Harrison was doing “good” and “working through the protocol.”<\/p>\n

When asked if Harrison would be a contact participant in Friday’s practice, Gannon said: “Whatever the protocol says, that’s what he’ll do.”<\/p>\n

Gannon did announce that running back Emari Demercado<\/a>, who left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury would not play against the Packers and that first-round pick Walter Nolen III<\/a>, who had his 21-day practice window opened this week after spending training camp and the first six weeks of the season on the PUP list, would not be activated for Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Josh WeinfussOct 17, 2025, 01:24 PM ET CloseJosh Weinfuss is a staff writer who covers the Arizona Cardinals…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":220722,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-220721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220721"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220721\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220722"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
