Cardinals practice squad elevation, RB not included. What does this mean for Love?
Every team is allowed to bring up two practice squad guys
The Arizona Cardinals have decided to only bring up cornerback Kalen King from their practice squad for their opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. This decision came despite RB Evan Hull being a strong option, as both Garrett Williams and Rabbit Taylor-Demerson are currently out. With this move, the Cardinals will have three running backs available for the game: Tyler Allgeier, Jeremiyah Love, and Bam Knight.
The team expects Jeremiyah Love to be able to play, as he has been "trending well" in practice. However, Love is listed as "questionable" due to a high ankle sprain. Coach Mike LaFleur is planning to use a split backfield, meaning Love's snaps may be managed in his debut. The article questions whether the Cardinals should rush Love back and play him at 100% or give him more time to heal, considering the Chargers' strong defensive line.
The article also highlights that the Cardinals signed Tyler Allgeier in free agency, and he should receive the bulk of the carries.
