Jeremiyah Love injury: Rookie RB dealing with ankle problems
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is managing a second ankle injury this season.
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love began the season dealing with a high ankle sprain sustained during preseason training. He encountered further ankle complications, which has led to his occasional absence from games. At the conclusion of a recent match, Love was observed on the sidelines with medical staff assessing his ankle and did not partake in the field action when the Cardinals possessed an opportunity to secure a win.
Head coach Mike LaFleur disclosed on Monday that Love's ankle issue was distinct from the initial sprain. "It's a different one," LaFleur stated to reporters, "He's been grappling with it for some time, but it's primarily a matter of management. He experiences occasional tweaks, feels fine subsequently, and we're focused on handling that condition.
He's handling it quite well." Despite facing adversity, Love has managed to play in four NFL games and one preseason contest. In total, he has accumulated 223 rushing yards and a touchdown, maintaining an average of 4.1 yards per carry across the four games. His contributions have not been limited to rushing, as he has also contributed 11 receptions for 33 yards and a touchdown.
As the season unfolds, his health status will be a point of interest. Ankle injuries often persist for weeks, as seems to be the case with Love.
