Cardinals’ No. 3 Pick Jeremiyah Love Sidelined at Least a Week With Ankle Soreness

The short-term absence shrinks Arizona’s running-back depth, forcing backups to take larger roles while the team re-evaluates Love next week.

Overview

  • Coach Mike LaFleur said Saturday that Love will be kept out of practice for a week and will not play in the next preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys.
  • Love injured his ankle during his preseason debut against the Las Vegas Raiders, finishing that game with 11 carries for 58 yards and three catches for 14 yards.
  • The team called the issue more soreness than expected and described the move as precautionary with a formal re-evaluation planned next week.
  • The timing compounds depth problems because veteran James Conner has no timetable to resume full 11-on-11 work and rookie Trey Benson is dealing with a knee flare-up.
  • Arizona must lean on Tyler Allgeier and other backups in the coming weeks while the club addresses player development, roster decisions, and criticism of preseason usage after multiple rookie injuries this summer.
