Texans add C.J. Stroud's college teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. to their WR core 🔥 https://t.co/jhe5wBczAE Via @SportsCenter on X

What happened: Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed the Texans traded for Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. on Sunday. The acquisition reunites the pass-catcher with his former Ohio State quarterback C.J. Stroud. Houston reportedly sent 2027 second- and sixth-round picks to Arizona in exchange for Harrison and a 2027 seventh-round selection.

Why it matters: The Texans add a dynamic playmaker to an offense that recently lost Jayden Higgins to a torn ACL. Harrison provides an immediate outside threat for Stroud and signals Houston's aggressive approach to contending this season.

What to watch: Harrison will integrate into the Houston playbook ahead of his team debut.
