The Arizona Cardinals’ second-year wide receiver – the son of Indianapolis Colts icon Marvin Harrison – injured his head during the second quarter of the Cardinals’ clash with the Colts in Indianapolis.
The Cardinals announced that they have ruled Harrison out for the remainder of the game after diagnosing him with a concussion.
Harrison caught a deep pass over the middle from quarterback Jacoby Brissett but slammed the back of his head on the ground after making the catch in the second quarter.
The wideout was slow to get up after the play and headed to the blue medical tent for a concussion evaluation. Shortly thereafter, he headed to the locker room with the Cardinals’ training staff.
