The 2024 first-round pick only managed one reception for four yards in the Arizona Cardinals’ 34-28 season-opening loss to the Buffalo Bills, thus his debut did not live up to expectations.
Harrison never had fewer than ten receiving yards in a game during his sophomore or junior years at Ohio State, so Sunday’s performance was unheard of for the standout wide receiver.
But Jonathan Gannon, the head coach of the Cardinals, believes this is an isolated incident. Gannon was quick to assuage concerns that Harrison’s confidence may have been damaged after he botched the first pass of his NFL career by saying that Harrison is “fine” and will “get back at it and go to work.” There won’t be anyone placing more demands or strain on him.
Gannon underlined the necessity of involving the rookie more in Week 2 even if he recognised the Bills’ excellent defensive performance in neutralising Harrison. “We need to involve him more, but they took him away and put a lot of resources on him,” Gannon said in a Monday interview with Burns & Gambo of Arizona Sports.
Gannon continued, “One thing we can do is get him on the move a little bit” in regards to future modifications.
The Cardinals will take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2—a team from the same division. The Cardinals have a poor past record against the Rams, going 4-12 against them since 2017.
