Texans acquire WR Marvin Harrison Jr. from Cardinals, hoping to unlock first-round pick’s potential | National Sports

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Houston Texans got a big win on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans and then received even bigger news in the aftermath — the offense has added wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals.

The Texans also received a 2027 seventh-round draft pick in the deal, while the Cardinals added a 2027 second-round and sixth-round pick, according to a person familiar with the deal, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the full terms had not been announced.
