The Arizona Cardinals, for the second straight day on Thursday, took the practice field without wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., running back Trey Benson, linebacker Josh Sweat and defensive lineman Walter Nolen III.
The Cardinals, who host the Los Angeles Rams this week, listed Harrison as a nonparticipant due to a heel injury that popped up in Sunday’s loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“He’s going to see the doctor later on here,” head coach Jonathan Gannon told Arizona Sports’ Burns & Gambo on Monday. “Max Melton didn’t go this last week because of a heel, kind of a similarly injury. Those are tricky. Marv, he kept going back in the game and you watch him run and he’s running great, but then when he walks or jogs it doesn’t look great. It’s a tough injury … we’ll just take it day-by-day with him.”
Gannon told reporters on Wednesday that Harrison was “doing good.”
Benson has missed four practices in a row going back to last week, as he had been limited while working his way off injured reserve with a knee issue.
Nolen continued to miss practice time after suffering a knee injury in Week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum, newly nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award, was upgraded from a nonparticipant to limited in practice on Thursday while wide receiver Xavier Weaver (hamstring) was a new addition to the report and was also limited.
For the Rams, wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion after missing practice on Wednesday and running back Kyren Williams (ankle) remained limited with his work on the field.
