Texans Announce Week 6 Decision on Newly-Acquired WR Marvin Harrison Jr

The Houston Texans acquired former No. 4 overall pick Marvin Harrison Jr. in a blockbuster trade with the Arizona Cardinals earlier this week.

Now just a few days after the trade was made official, the Texans have made a decision on Harrison's Week 6 status.

On Wednesday, Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters that Harrison will make his Texans debut in Sunday's international matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London.

While Harrison will take the field for the Texans in Week 6, Ryans said the 24-year-old wide receiver's playing time will be limited.

"We'll make sure it's as easy as possible for him. Don't expect him to play all 60 snaps," Ryans said.

Harrison never lived up to the hype in his time with the Cardinals. Before landing in Houston, the former superstar prospect had just five catches for 85 yards and one touchdown through four games in 2026.

Harrison now links up with his former collegiate teammate C.J. Stroud, who served as his quarterback for two of his three seasons with the Ohio State Buckeyes.

The Texans are 1-4 to open up the 2026 NFL season, notching their first win of the year against the Tennessee Titans in Week 5. They'll look to continue their positive momentum into this weekend's difficult matchup against the 4-1 Jacksonville Jaguars.
