Marvin Harrison Jr. set to leave Cardinals, NFC West roundup

There were no games on the NFC West slate yesterday, but roster moves still reshaped the division’s landscape, especially in Arizona where Marvin Harrison Jr.’s future is coming into focus.

Arizona Cardinals: Harrison Jr. on the move, O-line thins out

According to ESPN, as relayed by Pro Football Rumors, the Cardinals are finalizing a trade involving wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., the former top draft pick now in his third season. CBS Sports reports that Harrison was made inactive against the Lions after Arizona reportedly informed him of its decision. Pro Football Rumors further notes that, based on its information, the Houston Texans are expected to be his landing spot, though no destination has been made official.

While the offense prepares to lose a major target, the offensive line takes another hit. Pro Football Rumors reports that the Cardinals have placed starting right guard Isaiah Adams on injured reserve with an ankle injury. The outlet adds that Arizona does not expect Adams’ absence to be as long as that of left tackle Paris Johnson Jr., who was ruled out for the year earlier this week, but Adams will still be sidelined as the 1-3 Cardinals try to stabilize their front.

To bolster the secondary depth, Arizona also signed cornerback Art Green from the practice squad to the active roster, one of several minor Week 5 moves listed by Pro Football Rumors.

San Francisco 49ers: fresh legs on the defensive front

At 4-0 and leading the division, the 49ers continue to refine their defensive line depth. Pro Football Rumors notes that San Francisco added defensive tackle Ogbonnia Okoronkwo to the practice squad and released defensive end Matt Judon. Okoronkwo’s quick return to the organization comes shortly after his release and is linked by the outlet to his relationship with defensive coordinator Raheem Morris.

In more encouraging news, Pro Football Rumors reports that the 49ers officially activated defensive end Mykel Williams from the reserve/physically unable to perform list so he can play in Week 5, calling it a rare positive development on the injury front. The same report mentions updated notes on wide receivers Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, without detailing the nature of those developments.

Rams and Seahawks stay quiet

No significant moves surfaced from the Los Angeles Rams (2-2) or the Seattle Seahawks (3-1) over the past 24 hours. Both teams enjoy a brief lull while their division rivals juggle key personnel decisions.
