Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. had been dealing with appendicitis and had to get surgery. Because of that appendectomy, he has already missed the last two games, which were against the 49ers and the Jaguars. With the team taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Week 13, the big question is, has he already recovered from that operation?
Ahead of the Week 13 showdown on Sunday, Harrison was listed as questionable, though the outlook for his return is positive, as head coach Jonathan Gannon had previously stated that the wide receiver “looked good” in practice. He has been a key component of the team’s offense and having him back would be a boon for the Cardinals on Sunday.
