Cardinals deliver a newsworthy update on Jeremiyah Love ahead of Week 1

The Arizona Cardinals appear confident in Jeremiyah Love's readiness for their Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Love, who had been sidelined with a high-ankle sprain since August 13, participated in all aspects of practice, including a walkthrough with the full offense. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur indicated that Love is fully participating, expressing optimism about the rookie running back's condition.

However, LaFleur has not yet made a definitive commitment to Love as the starting running back, as the team has alternated roles between Love and veteran Tyler Allgeier during training camp. The Cardinals' depth chart, published by their public relations department, listed Allgeier as the RB1, though LaFleur noted that such a designation holds no official weight.

Veteran right guard Isaiah Adams and edge rusher Josh Sweat were absent from the open portion of practice. Adams is recovering from a knee injury, while Sweat's status is considered minor. Guard Jon Gaines, who started the final five games of last season, is set to start Week 1, while cornerback Garrett Williams' participation will be closely monitored after recovering from a torn Achilles tendon.

If Williams is unable to play, second-year cornerback Denzel Burke will likely take his place, with Will Johnson and Max Melton vying for the outside slot.
