Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love Still Sidelined, Clock Ticking Toward Week 1
With Week 1 approaching, Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love's high ankle sprain has kept him out of practice for a second straight week.
The Arizona Cardinals' first-round pick and rookie running back Jeremiyah Love suffered a high ankle sprain during the team's preseason game against the Raiders on Thursday, Aug. 13. High ankle sprains are considered a severe injury, as they can take several weeks to fully heal, depending on the grade. Love's injury occurred nearly a month before the regular season, leading to concerns among Cardinals fans.
Head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed that Love will miss this week's practices, and it is unlikely he will be on the field practicing or playing during the remaining preseason games. Love, who rushed for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns in his final season at Notre Dame, was highly touted and compared to future NFL stars. The Cardinals are now faced with a decision on how to handle Love's injury, as a significant sprain can have serious consequences on his recovery and playing time.
