What happened: Houston completed a midseason trade for Marvin Harrison Jr. from Arizona. The move reunites the former Ohio State receiver with quarterback C.J. Stroud ahead of his team debut.

Why it matters: Harrison entered the league as the No. 4 overall pick in 2024 out of Ohio State. Houston adds a familiar target for Stroud without waiting for the offseason market.

By the numbers: Harrison caught 41 passes for 608 yards and 4 touchdowns in 12 games in 2025 with the Cardinals.

What to watch: Integration during coming practices will determine his early role before the debut.
