Is Marvin Harrison Jr. playing today? Why Cardinals WR is off to slow start in Week 16

The Arizona Cardinals are welcoming back wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. for the Week 16 game against the Atlanta Falcons.

Harrison missed the previous two games because of a heel injury, and he has missed four of the last five games after missing two contests due to an appendectomy.

But Harrison's return has been quiet early on against the Falcons on Sunday. Here's why.

Is Marvin Harrison Jr. playing today?

Yes, Harrison is active and healthy, he just hasn't been targeted yet.

None of Arizona's pass-catchers had an opportunity to do much on the first drive, as quarterback Jacoby Brissett only completed one pass.

Harrison is also expected to be limited in this game, so don't be surprised if we don't see a ton of him on Sunday.
