The NFL reported on October 11, 2026, that the Arizona Cardinals are set to trade wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Houston Texans.

Harrison would reunite in Houston with C.J. Stroud, his former quarterback at Ohio State, according to the NFL report.

Harrison’s production through four games

Harrison had five catches for 85 yards and one touchdown on 13 targets through four games of the 2026 season, the NFL reported. The report said his play had declined after a first two seasons affected by inconsistency and injuries.

Entering his third season, Harrison had recorded 103 receptions, 1,493 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns across 29 games, according to the report.

Houston’s receiving group

The report said Harrison would join a Texans receiver group led by Nico Collins, with Tank Dell also a potential part of the group after returning to practice the previous week.

Houston had started the season 0-4 before winning on October 11, according to the NFL report, moving its record to 1-4.

A new destination after trade speculation

Harrison had been the subject of trade speculation in the weeks before the report. The Indianapolis Colts had been mentioned as a possible destination, but the NFL reported Houston as the expected landing spot.

Harrison entered the NFL after a celebrated college career at Ohio State and as the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Marvin Harrison, who starred for Indianapolis from 1996 to 2008, the report noted.
