Xavier

Weaver

That means rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. will officially return after leaving the team’s Week 6 contest with a concussion after just eight offensive snaps. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Weaver, who was active last week and played 41 offensive snaps after Harrison Jr. departed, is inactive.

Weaver missed the first two weeks of his rookie season because of the oblique injury. A full session to open the week suggests he is good to go for Week 3. He will open the year as a reserve wideout and a special teamer for Arizona.

The Cardinals enter Week 2 without major game-time decisions for injuries. Weaver will miss the game due to an oblique injury, but the rest of the skill position group will be healthy against the Rams.

The second-round rookie could provide mild depth for the Cardinals’ lackluster cornerback corps, if active. WR Xavier Weaver (oblique) is also listed as questionable.

The deal includes $255,000 in guarantees, suggesting Worthy has a decent shot of making the team this summer. Weaver (6’0/169) strung together three productive seasons from 2021-2023 to close out his five-year career, and went for 68-908-4 last season – his first and only year at Colorado. Weaver has ideal height for an outside receiver but a very slender frame. He’s an explosive receiver with 4.47 speed and he dominated the vertical and broad jumps at Colorado’s pro day, but Weaver will need to prove he can overcome more physical play from NFL corners with significant size advantages.

Weaver (6'1/178) was the most reliable target for Katravis Marsh all night. His touchdown came after a fumbled kickoff to put the Bulls up 14-6. He ran a glance route, gained enough separation, and adjusted well to the ball which was thrown behind him. When the Bulls were down in the second half, they were able to connect on plays of 22 and 33 yards, but they weren’t able to convert those big plays into points. The Bulls take on Houston next Saturday.

Weaver (6'1/178) has been the Bulls’ top receiver this season, nothing 21 receptions for 380 yards and one touchdown on 46 targets. Weaver missed last Saturday’s 34-14 win over Temple, but has a chance to return on Thursday night against East Carolina according to head coach Jeff Scott.
