Mandatory Credit: Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images Arizona Cardinals rookie receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is expected to return to practice Thursday, five days after he was removed from a game against the Green Bay Packers with a concussion.
“Marvin is going through the (concussion) protocol, but you’ll see him out there today,” Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday.
Harrison, 22, will be a non-contact participant in practice as Arizona (2-4) prepares for a visit from the Los Angeles Chargers (3-2) on Monday night.
Gannon also confirmed a report from Wednesday that defensive lineman Bilal Nichols was placed on injured reserve and revealed that the seventh-year player will miss the remainder of the season after coming away with a stinger in consecutive games.
Against the Packers, a woozy Harrison got to his feet after a hit in the first half and went back down again before leaving the field. He did not have a reception in the game.
In six games this season, the No. 4 overall draft pick out of Ohio State has 17 receptions for 279 yards and four touchdowns.
Nichols, 28, is in his first season with Arizona after signing as a free agent in March. He has 10 tackles in six games (five starts).
The Chicago Bears selected Nichols in the fifth round of the 2018 NFL Draft. He has played in 100 games for Chicago (2018-21), the Las Vegas Raiders (2022-23) and Arizona and has 248 tackles, 14 sacks, 27 tackles for loss, 45 quarterback hits, one interception and five fumble recoveries, one of which he returned for a touchdown.
