The Story in 60 Seconds

Through the first two games of the season, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has recorded only one reception on four targets for 33 yards. The former No. 4 overall draft pick was held without a catch on just one target from quarterback Jacoby Brissett during Arizona's 31-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2.

Head coach Mike LaFleur addressed social media concerns regarding Harrison's effort, attributing the appearance to the receiver's unique running style rather than a lack of exertion. The Cardinals previously opened their season with a 26-14 road victory against the Los Angeles Chargers.
