HOUSTON -- Newly acquired Texans wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. will play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday, Houston coach DeMeco Ryans said Wednesday.
It's a quick turnaround for Harrison, as he just arrived in Houston on Monday. The Texans (1-4) sent 2027 second- and seventh-round picks to the Arizona Cardinals to acquire Harrison and a 2027 sixth-round selection after a disappointing start to his career with the Cards.
Harrison has just five catches on 13 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown this season. But he said Wednesday he views the new chapter as a "great" opportunity as he reunites with his college quarterback C.J. Stroud. They played together in 2021 and 2022 at Ohio State, and both were All-Americans.
"I think the team as a whole it's a great situation for me," Harrison said of the Texans. "Being with a quarterback that you have rapport with and had success with in the past is always great too."
