Arizona Cardinals star wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. returned to practice Tuesday after missing several days with knee soreness followed by an illness.

Harrison's return means he may be available for Arizona's preseason opener Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Tuesday that unlike last year, he will play his starters for some amount of time in the first preseason game.

Harrison, 22, missed practice on Thursday and Friday while dealing with knee soreness, then felt ill over the weekend.

He played in all 17 games for Arizona as a rookie (starting 16) and finished the year with 62 receptions for 885 yards and eight touchdowns. He was the fourth overall pick of the 2024 draft.

Fellow receiver Michael Wilson, a projected starter, remains sidelined with a concussion.
