Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love to Miss Multiple Weeks Due to Injury: Report
ESPN's Adam Schefter revealed that Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love will miss the rest of the preseason with an ankle injury.
The Arizona Cardinals initially expected rookie running back Jeremiyah Love to become a key player this season. However, Love has faced several injuries during training camp and the preseason, and he will most likely miss some weeks due to a high ankle sprain, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The injury makes it improbable for Love to play again in the preseason, with the team aiming for his return in the Sept.
13 regular-season game against the Chargers. Love did not participate in the Hall of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers but played in the Cardinals' subsequent preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders. In that match, he accumulated 58 yards on 11 carries, averaging 5.3 yards per carry, and added three catches for 14 yards. Head coach Mike LaFleur faced criticism for utilizing Love extensively in the preseason game.
He defended his decision, stating that it was a rookie player who hadn't played before, and the team aimed to assess his capabilities. The Cardinals boast a robust backfield, including two 1,000-yard rushers in James Conner and Tyler Allgeier, and a promising 24-year-old tailback, Trey Benson. Should Love be sidelined during the regular season, Arizona is well-equipped to handle such a setback.
