Arizona Cardinals, Jeremiyah Love explain reduced workload
Jeremiyah Love saw just 30 snaps against the New York Giants, as he deals with fatigue and lingering impacts of his high-ankle sprain.
The Arizona Cardinals altered Jeremiyah Love's workload in a Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants, with the running back seeing 30 offensive snaps, compared to Tyler Allgeier's 36. Love led the backfield in carries (14) while Allgeier saw more action on passing downs. The decision was attributed to a protection emphasis and the Giants' heavy blitzing in that situation, with Love being described as the team's "third-down back."
Love himself suffered a high-ankle sprain in preseason and has not missed a regular season game. The Cardinals are managing Love's workload due to the long and demanding nature of his rookie season. Love acknowledged the frustration of not feeling like his former self but emphasized that it's not a reflection on the coaching staff.
He was honest with them about his capacity on specific moments and was willing to let others take his place if necessary.
