NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that QB Jacoby Brissett is skipping "Phase 1" of the Cardinals' offseason program while seeking a new contract.

The Cardinals will release QB Kyler Murray when the new league year starts on Wednesday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. That's barring a trade happening before now and then -- which won't. Arizona owes Murray $36.8 million guaranteed in 2026, and another $19.5 million for 2017 would have triggered on March 15 if Murray was still on the roster. So this move has been expected for a while.

The Cardinals are hiring Mike LaFleur as their new HC, according to multiple reports. Arizona becomes the 10th and final team to fill a head-coaching vacancy this offseason. The Cardinals were in the mix for several other candidates, including Klint Kubiak, who accepted the Raiders’ head job yesterday. In the end, Arizona was the last team without a partner before landing on LaFleur.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. won't play in Sunday's finale vs. the Rams, the team announced. Harrison suffered a new foot injury in the Week 17 loss to the Bengals, on the opposite side of the bum heel he's been dealing with. It ends a disappointing sophomore season for Harrison, who winds up missing five games and parts of a few more. In eight games with a snap rate north of 70%, he averaged:

• 4.0 catches
• 61.6 yards
• 0.5 TDs

His 13.2 PPR points per game in those outings would have ranked 21st among WRs on the season. The Cardinals figure to have a new QB and coaching staff in 2026, which can only be good news for Harrison's fantasy prospects.

WR Michael Wilson and TE Trey McBride figure to dominate targets against the Rams this weekend.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. left last weekend's game vs. the Bengals with a foot injury. It's on the opposite side of the heel injury he's been dealing with, HC Jonathan Gannon said Monday. We'll keep tabs on Harrison's status this week, but he seems unlikely to play in Sunday's finale vs. the Rams. His absence would make WR Michael Wilson a strong fantasy bet.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. played only 33% of the snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. That ranked a distant third among Arizona WRs, behind Michael Wilson and Xavier Weaver. In fact, he only drew one official target, which didn't arrive until late in the second quarter. Harrison eventually left the game after re-injuring the same heel that made him a limited practice participant all week.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He remained limited in practice all week and was listed as questionable. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that Harrison’s snaps will be “managed” today. He ran a route on just 61% of Arizona’s pass plays and drew three targets last week. Consider Harrison a risky WR3 play today.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is expected to play vs. the Bengals today but have his snaps "managed," according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We got a similar report last Sunday, before Harrison was limited to a 61% route rate and three targets. A potential shootout vs. the Bengals at least keeps him on the fantasy radar. But it's worth noting that Cincinnati has been the seventh-toughest matchup for WRs this season.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Bengals after a limited week of practice. He played through this issue last week and said Friday that he expects to play against Cincinnati. He’s clearly still not at 100%, though, leaving him as a risky Week 17 fantasy start. Harrison was limited to a 61% route rate and three targets last week.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. Harrison said Friday that he's "good enough to go" for this game, and ESPN’s Adam Schefter said this morning that the "team plans to ease him back in." It sounds like Harrison will be on some type of snap count, landing him in risk/reward WR3 range in the Week 16 rankings.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is expected to play vs. the Falcons today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Rapoport makes no mention of a snap count for Harrison, but ESPN's Adam Schefter says "team plans to ease him back in." Harrison said Friday that he's "good enough to go" for this one, so it's safe to assume he's not at 100%. It makes him a risky Week 16 fantasy play, although there's still plenty of upside in a Cardinals offense that's averaged 43 passes per game under QB Jacoby Brissett.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. He was limited in practice all week. Harrison said Friday that he's "good enough to go" this weekend, which doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence. It’s safe to assume he won’t be at 100% if he plays against Atlanta, leaving him as a risk/reward WR3. Harrison’s return would be bad news for WR Michael Wilson, though. Harrison out-targeted Wilson seven to three through the first three quarters of Week 13 (Harrison’s last game).

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) was limited in Wednesday's practice. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Falcons. "Doing good," HC Jonathan Gannon said of Harrison. "He’ll be out there today. We’ll see how the week goes." Harrison would be in the WR3 mix if he plays against Atlanta -- and knock WR Michael Wilson to WR3 status. We'll keep you updated on the situation.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is out for this weekend’s game vs. the Texans. He missed practice all week and has no timetable for return. Harrison’s absence will again mean alpha usage for WR Michael Wilson, who’s totaled an absurd 49 targets in three games without Harrison this season.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. Fantasy owners shouldn't be counting on him making it back for this weekend's game vs. the Texans. Harrison's absence would again mean a boatload of targets for WR Michael Wilson.

The Arizona Cardinals were short-handed at WR in Week 14, but Michael Wilson stepped up again to deliver another phenomenal performance. Wilson caught 11 of his 16 targets for 142 yards and 2 TDs in the Cardinals' 45-17 loss. Wilson has now topped 21 PPR points in Arizona's last three games playing without supposed No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison Jr.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. He didn't practice all week, so this could be a multi-game absence. Harrison's absence once again leaves Michael Wilson as Arizona's top WR. He racked up 33 targets, 25 catches, and 303 yards in two games without Harrison in November. The Rams defense has played well this season but ranks just 19th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) missed practice again on Thursday. He's not looking like a good bet to play vs. the Rams this weekend, but we'll update his status again tomorrow. WR Greg Dortch (chest) has also missed the first two practices of the week, while WR Xavier Weaver was added to Thursday's injury report with a hamstring. WR Michael Wilson could be in for heavy volume on Sunday.
