AZ Cardinals news and recap

Harrison (cramps) will practice Tuesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Harrison didn’t finish practice Sunday due to what coach Mike LaFleur described as cramping. However, the 2024 first-rounder is fine after Monday’s day off and will return to the mix Tuesday. As the coming campaign approaches, Harrison, who is entering his third year as a pro, is slated to reprise his starting role for the Cardinals alongside fellow WR Michael Wilson. The 23-year-old is coming off a 2025 regular season in which he caught 41 of 73 passes for 608 yards and four TDs in 12 contests, but if he’s able to stay healthy while building a strong rapport with expected starting QB Jacoby Brissett, steady volume in the passing game should be available for Harrison in 2026.

Minshew, who handled first-team reps at practice Sunday, will move back to the No. 2 quarterback role when the Cardinals return to practice Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team’s official site reports.

Minshew will bump back to the backup role now that teammate Jacoby Brissett has come to terms with Arizona on a new contract that provides him a raise for the 2026 campaign. Expectations are that Minshew will kick off the regular season as the No. 2 option behind Brissett, though rookie third-rounder Carson Beck also will have the chance to compete for opportunities in training camp. Minshew is fully recovered from the season-ending knee injury he suffered while operating as the backup to Patrick Mahomes (ACL) in Kansas City in 2025.

Harrison (undisclosed) did not finish Arizona’s training camp practice on Sunday due to an unknown issue, Darren Urban of the Cardinals‘ official site reports.

Harrison reportedly displayed positive chemistry with quarterbacks Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew on Sunday, hauling in a touchdown from the latter during team reps, but the third-year wideout wasn’t able to finish the session. It remains to be seen whether Harrison is dealing with an undisclosed injury, or something as minor as conditioning. Arizona will not practice Monday, but Harrison’s status will be worth monitoring when the team hosts its first padded session Tuesday.
