The Arizona Cardinals haven't had the services of wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. for each of the last two weeks.

This week, Harrison showed signs of progress in his recovery, as he practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday and Thursday. He was out on the practice field once again on Friday.
Also on Friday, video out of Cardinals practice showed Harrison moving very well and he appeared to be a full participant in the session, although that hasn't been confirmed yet.
Nevertheless, seeing Harrison moving as well as he was amounts to a strong indication that he will make his return to the field in Week 13.
We will hopefully get full confirmation shortly, when the Cardinals release their final injury report of the week later in the day.

Head coach Jonathan Gannon told reporters during the week that the Cardinals need to find ways to keep Wilson involved.
“Yeah,” Gannon said when asked if the Cardinals might tweak their offense to keep getting Wilson the ball, according to Theo Mackie of AZCentral.com. “Throw it to the guys that are making plays for you. Absolutely.”
The Cardinals will take the field on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium, with kickoff set for 1 p.m. ET.
