Despite the competitive nature of the league, some teams like the Chargers and Texans found themselves at 0-3, a scenario not anticipated by many preseason predictions.
In a significant trade, the Arizona Cardinals sent quarterback Kyler Murray and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Houston Texans, as reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The Cardinals are now focusing on a pass-catching group anchored by tight end Trey McBride and receiver Michael Wilson, while Harrison will begin a new chapter with the Texans.
