The Houston Texans have a shiny new offensive weapon at their disposal — and for C.J. Stroud, it’s one he’s plenty familiar with.

Following his blockbuster trade from the Cardinals, Marvin Harrison Jr. will officially make his Texans debut on Sunday, though it won’t come anywhere close to Houston; instead, the former No. 4 overall pick has made the trip with his new team to London, where the Texans will face the AFC South-leading Jaguars.

With Houston facing an early 1-4 hole, the Harrison acquisition could add some much-needed juice to the offense, forming a potentially strong duo with Nico Collins at wide receiver. Stroud shouldn’t need long to get adjusted to life with Harrison, as the two were teammates at Ohio State just a few years ago. Now reunited, they’ll look to get Houston’s season back on track.

Jacksonville, however, has looked like one of the AFC’s best teams, riding a 12-1 stretch in the regular season dating back to the 2025 season. Trevor Lawrence (1,174 passing yards, 10 TDs) has been playing arguably his best NFL football yet, and with the momentum of a Week 6 last-second win over the Eagles and over a week spent in London already, the Jaguars pose a significant threat.

The Sporting News is tracking the latest updates, stats and more from Harrison’s debut for Houston, facing the Jaguars in London on Sunday morning. Follow along with the overseas AFC South matchup below.
