The Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a deal to trade wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, who reported Saturday that the team told Harrison he will be inactive for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions while trade details are completed.
Harrison has five receptions on 13 targets for 85 receiving yards and one touchdown in four games this season. The Cardinals are 1-3 and rank 25th in offensive EPA and 23rd in defensive EPA among 32 teams, leaving their offense potentially without one of its current receiving options.
Detroit enters the game at 2-2. The Lions rank second in offensive EPA, though their defense is 30th among 32 teams in defensive EPA.

Breaking: the Arizona Cardinals are finalizing a deal to trade WR Marvin Harrison, sources tell me and @RapSheet. The team informed Harrison this morning that he will be inactive for Sunday’s game vs Detroit as details of the trade are finalized. https://t.co/x6n0Hsfzzj

The one certainty is that Marvin Harrison’s time in Arizona is done. Arizona feels comfortable enough to know it can and will trade Harrison, which is why he will be inactive Sunday. But no Harrison trade will be completed until after Sunday’s games are played. https://t.co/qEGc9qtht0

One team that has had Marvin Harrison trade talks with Arizona is Houston, sources tell me and @rapsheet. Houston has been, and is thought to be, square in the mix for Harrison. But as one Texans source said about the team’s interest in Harrison, “I can’t confirm or deny at this time.”

Arizona had told inquiring teams that it wanted first-round value in return for Harrison, the former No. 4 overall pick. Arizona is now comfortable enough with whatever offer it has received to make Harrison inactive on Sunday and know he is on the verge of being dealt. https://t.co/i6MizivWM5
