In his first game wearing a Houston Texans uniform, Marvin Harrison Jr. made his presence felt with three catches for 34 yards, contributing to a 34-31 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Harrison, who was traded from the Arizona Cardinals, didn’t see much action early on, with just one snap in the first three drives. However, on the fourth possession, quarterback C.J. Stroud connected with his former Ohio State teammate for a 14-yard gain. That catch helped set up a 25-yard field goal, putting Houston back in the lead. Harrison added a couple more receptions in the third quarter for first downs, showing flashes of his potential. After the game, Harrison expressed his satisfaction, saying, ‘I feel good. I came here to help the team win games, and we did that.’ Stroud, who threw the passes, remarked, ‘It felt like old times. I thought he looked great. We’ll get him more touches going forward.’ Before the trade, Harrison had five catches for 85 yards and a touchdown in four games with the Cardinals, where he was a top draft pick but didn’t fully live up to expectations. Now, with Harrison off the roster, players like Trey McBride and Michael Wilson will see more targets, while Jalen Brooks and Reggie Virgil step into larger roles. Harrison’s debut was modest, but it signals a new chapter with room for growth.
