Jeremiyah Love

Jeremiyah Love — Injured Reserve

Love's move to IR was fully expected, after Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Tuesday that the rookie first-round pick was diagnosed with a right high-ankle sprain and was facing a projected recovery timeline of 4-to-5 weeks. While Love is on the mend, Tyler Allgeier is expected to step into a lead role out of the Arizona backfield beginning with the team's Week 9 game against Seattle.

Sources: Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love to IR, out 4-5 weeks with high ankle sprain

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is headed to IR because of a high ankle sprain that will sideline the rookie for 4-5 weeks, sources told NFL Network.

Jeremiyah Love — Out

Love was available to play Week 8 after missing the Cardinals' previous two games due to a left ankle issue, but he ended up exiting Sunday's 33-30 overtime win over the Cowboys late in the first quarter after tweaking his opposite ankle. Though the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft was cleared to play in advance of Week 1 after previously sustaining a right high-ankle sprain in the preseason, he won't be as fortunate this time around now that he's sprained the same ankle for the second time in less than three months. The projected 4-to-5-week recovery timeline gives Love a chance at returning to action when first eligible to return from IR on Dec. 6 against the Eagles, but at least for the next four games, Tyler Allgeier looks poised to serve as Arizona's lead back. The Cardinals could also look to bring James Conner (foot) back from IR at some point during that four-game stretch.

Cardinals' Mike LaFleur: Jeremiyah Love's injury to 'new portion' of his ankle

Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love suffered a new ankle injury in Sunday's win over the Cowboys, coach Mike LaFleur said.

Jeremiyah Love — Questionable

Prior to having his right ankle rolled up on while getting tackled Sunday, Love was dealing with a left ankle issue, so this is a bit of a non-update from LaFleur. Having said that, LaFleur's last comment indicates that he may touch on the nature of Love's injury and also its prognosis in the near future. Fellow RB Bam Knight has entered the concussion protocol in the wake of Week 8 action, leaving Tyler Allgeier as the unquestioned healthy lead back for the Cardinals at the moment.

Love had sat out the Cardinals' prior two contests due to a left ankle injury, but he appeared to tweak the opposite ankle on a carry late in the first quarter of Sunday's game. After a brief visit to the medical tent on the Arizona sideline, Love retreated to the locker room, where he remained to begin the third quarter before the Cardinals ruled him out. Prior to his departure, Love carried nine times for 23 yards and didn't draw any targets. His status will warrant monitoring leading up to the Cardinals' Week 9 game against the Seahawks on Nov. 8.

Love missed the previous two contests due to a left ankle injury, but after having his right ankle rolled up on in the second quarter Sunday, he visited the medical tent and then the locker room before the Cardinals clarified the nature of his injury. For as long as Love is off the field, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight will man Arizona's backfield.

Love had been sidelined for the Cardinals' previous two games due to a left ankle injury, but he appeared to check out of Sunday's contest after taking a hit to his right ankle/leg. The Cardinals will examine him more thoroughly in the locker room before providing an update on the nature of his injury as well as his status for the remainder of the contest. Love carried nine times for 23 yards prior to departing the contest.

Head coach Mike LaFleur told Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site Friday that Love was expected to play in Week 8, and the running back's lack of designation confirms as much. After opening the week with back-to-back limited listings, Love capped it with a full session Friday, indicating that he's ready for close to a normal workload Sunday after a two-game absence. Speaking of the time off, Love relayed to Urban that "two weeks for anybody will get people feeling how they want to feel." As a result, Love will rejoin a backfield that previously was a near-even split between Tyler Allgeier (toe) and Bam Knight the last two weeks.

Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) set to return

Jeremiyah Love is expected to return to the field for the Cardinals on Sunday after missing the past two weeks with an ankle injury.

In his return to drills this week following a two-game absence, Love has managed a pair of limited practices as he seeks to put an ankle injury behind him. It's unclear if Love will enter the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, something that'll be revealed on Friday's practice report. As for the rest of Arizona's backfield, Tyler Allgeier is tending to a toe issue, leaving just Bam Knight as a healthy option at the position.

Love maintained his activity level from Wednesday, which followed two weeks off due to a lingering ankle injury. Head coach Mike LaFleur hasn't indicated if Love actually has a chance to return to action Sunday at Dallas, but Friday's practice report will reveal his chances to do so.

This doesn't come as a surprise, as LaFleur told Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic on Monday that Love was slated to practice Wednesday. Now that Love's activity level is known, he'll have two more chances to get back to full this week before the Cardinals potentially make a ruling on his status ahead of Sunday's game at Dallas. Love has missed the last two games due to a lingering ankle injury, which has allowed Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight to split the backfield reps during that span.

Love has missed the last two games due to a lingering ankle issue, which allowed Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight to split backfield reps during that span. More likely than not, Love will need to string together multiple practices in a row to put himself in a position to return to action this coming Sunday at Dallas.

Cards rookie RB Jeremiyah Love to miss second straight game with ankle injury

Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love will miss his second straight game Sunday as he continues to recover from an ankle injury.

Jeremiyah Love — Out

Love thus will miss a second consecutive contest as he tends to a lingering ankle injury. With Love again sidelined, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight will man Arizona's backfield, as they did during last Sunday's win at the Rams. In that contest, Allgeier out-snapped Knight, 40-32, but the latter had 17 touches for 98 yards from scrimmage, while the former recorded 19 touches for just 48 total yards. Love's next chance for game action is Sunday, Nov. 1, in Dallas.

Jeremiyah Love — Out

Love has logged back-to-back DNPs to begin the practice week and appears well on his way to missing a second straight contest Sunday against the Broncos. With Love sidelined for Week 6 against the Rams, Tyler Allgeier narrowly out-snapped Bam Knight 40 to 32, but it was Knight who was far more effective in the box score. While Allgeier out-carried him 15 to 13, Knight picked up 80 rushing yards to Allgeier's 38. Knight added two catches for 18 yards on two targets and would be a worthwhile RB2/flex option in fantasy if Love does miss Sunday's game.

Love was listed as a non-participant Wednesday and could be headed for the same fate Thursday, unless he's able to take part in drills later in Thursday's practice. Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reported earlier Thursday that Love will likely miss Sunday's game against the Broncos, and Love working on a side field Thursday has done nothing to dispel that notion. Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight are poised to lead Arizona's backfield again.

Jeremiyah Love — Questionable

Love didn't practice Wednesday after sitting out this past Sunday's win over the Rams. He still has two more opportunities to resume practicing and give himself a chance to return Sunday against the Broncos, but the report suggests that the Cardinals are pessimistic regarding the rookie third overall pick's availability. If Love misses a second consecutive game, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight would be in line for additional opportunities against a Denver run defense that has been surprisingly weak this season.

Love is working his way back from an ankle injury that kept him out for Week 6 but is still not ready to ramp up to practice participation. He'll have a chance to get back in the mix Thursday or Friday, but if Love is unable to do so, it'll be a mix of Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight on Sunday against the Broncos.

Love thus will miss the first game of his career due to the ankle injury that has bothered him in recent weeks. So far, the third overall pick in this year's draft is sitting on 3.7 yards per carry and has been targeted just 14 times through five contests. Head coach Mike LaFleur noted to Urban on Friday that Love will be used more in the passing game once he's able to adequately make cuts, which requires his current health concern to be a thing of the past.

Love now has just one more chance to mix into drills this week Friday before the Cardinals potentially make a decision on his status for Sunday's game at the Rams. Considering head coach Mike LaFleur told Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic on Wednesday that the team wants to "get this ankle right and do it the right way," there's a chance that means missed games and not just missed practices for Love. In the event Arizona opts to sit Love this weekend, Tyler Allgeier will stand to step in as the lead runner, with Bam Knight in reserve.

With back-to-back absences under his belt this week, Love may be in danger of missing the first game of his career Sunday at the Rams, especially after head coach Mike LaFleur told Mackie on Wednesday that the Cardinals want to "get this ankle right and do it the right way." What exactly that entails remains to be seen, but the team could make a ruling on Love's status for Week 6 as soon as it posts Friday's injury report. If Love is inhibited or sidelined this weekend, Tyler Allgeier is next in line to pace Arizona's backfield, with Bam Knight backing him up.

Love emerged from Week 4 at the Giants with an ankle injury, and while he was able to play through it this past Sunday against the Lions, he mustered just 12 carries for 22 yards and didn't haul in his only target. Considering LaFleur's comments were murky, it's unclear if Love's practice reps are the only thing that will be managed this week, or if the rookie running back is in danger of missing an actual game. Nonethelees, Love's status will be monitored closely as the week continues to get a sense of the overall situation ahead of Sunday's road matchup with the Rams.

Love's meager rushing yardage total actually led the Cardinals on the afternoon, and game script had essentially turned away from the run by halftime with Arizona already down 24-7 at that point. The rookie first-round pick was on the sideline by the final drive of the afternoon, and Love finished with a new career low in rushing yards. The downturn on the ground was particularly drastic when compared to Love's previous two games, when he'd gained 153 yards on 35 carries against the 49ers and Giants. Love and the Cardinals will have an uphill battle to bounce back in Week 6 as well, as Arizona pays a visit to the Rams next Sunday.

Love emerged from Week 4 action with an ankle injury that limited him at practice Wednesday and Thursday, but he didn't have any restrictions at Friday's session before getting the all clear for Week 5. He touched on his health afterward, telling Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that he's feeling "really, really good this week" and that he "found a way I really want to do things just consulting with the training staff and throughout my outside stuff." On Sunday, Love will look to build upon the 259 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs on 66 touches that he's racked up through the first four games of his career.

Love so far has been limited at practice this week due to an ankle injury that he sustained in a Week 4 loss at the Giants. Despite LaFleur's comments, the Cardinals' final Week 5 injury report Friday may reveal that Love enters the weekend with a game designation.

Love is dealing with the second ankle injury of his young career in the wake of this past Sunday's loss at the Giants.

On Monday, coach Mike LaFleur said that Love emerged from Week 4 action with an ankle injury that's not related to the high-ankle sprain he tended to in August. Prior to Wednesday's session, LaFleur added more context, telling Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com that the issue shouldn't impact Love's practice reps this week. With a capped session to begin Week 5 prep, Love is experiencing practice restrictions, so the status of the Cardinals' No. 1 RB will be monitored closely as the weekend approaches.

The Cardinals have yet to post Wednesday's injury report, but LaFleur previously told Dani Sureck of the team's official site on Monday that Love has a new ankle issue that's unrelated to the high-ankle sprain he tended to in August. LaFleur's most recent comments imply that Love may not have practice restrictions this week, or if he does he could be listed as "not-injury related, rest."

Love came out of preseason Week 1 with the previous ankle issue and missed the rest of exhibition season. Through four games to begin his career, the third overall pick in this year's draft has had an oscillating workload from week-to-week, with his 66 touches going for 259 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs. Love did cede the Cardinals' last four offensive snaps of Sunday's loss at the Giants to fellow RB Tyler Allgeier, which came after the former limped off the field after one of QB Jacoby Brissett's three interceptions, according to Darren Urban of the team's official site. Wednesday's practice report should provide a sense of where Love stands with the current health concern.

Tyler Allgeier scored the Cardinals' only TD on the ground on a 22-yard dash in the first quarter, and Love's final numbers were hurt by the big loss on his only reception. The rookie RB wasn't able to build on a big Week 3 performance against the Niners, and through his first four NFL games, Love has managed just 259 scrimmage yards and two scores -- one rushing and one receiving. He'll look to bounce back at home in Week 5 against the Lions.

Sunday may have marked the official crowning of Love as the Cardinals' unquestioned lead back, as he took 19 more carries than veteran backup Tyler Allgeier. All of Love's rush attempts, rushing yardage, receptions, receiving yardage and targets were new career-high figures for the rookie first-round pick, who also recorded his first receiving touchdown on a one-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. His draft pedigree and talent always made an ascension to the No. 1 role a matter of when and not if, and it will be interesting to see how the Notre Dame product fares in what could be a favorable Week 4 road matchup against the Giants next Sunday.
