Arizona Cardinals update Jeremiyah Love's status for Week 5
Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love is dealing with an ankle injury, but head coach Mike LaFleur offered a positive update on his status.
Running back Jeremiyah Love has been dealing with an ankle injury throughout the Arizona Cardinals' first two practices, but appears to be on the mend as he is trending well according to head coach Mike LaFleur. Love played close to 64% of snaps in Week 3, but that number decreased to 45% in Week 4. He did mention managing his health during the Cardinals' game as he adjusts to the physical demands of a rookie season and emphasized that he was not hurt during the game.
LaFleur expects Love to be fully involved in the Week 5 game against the Detroit Lions. Meanwhile, starting safety Andrew Wingard will be absent from the Lions match due to a knee injury he sustained in Week 4. Rookie safety Wydett Williams and veteran Budda Baker will cover defensively in his place. In terms of the quarterback position, the Cardinals' coach, LaFleur, is confident in Jacoby Brissett, highlighting the quarterback's strong performance and acknowledging the challenges faced by the position.
Defensive lineman Walter Nolen, who has had a mixed season so far, is also expected to be active in the next game as he is currently trending good. Lastly, edge rusher Jordan Burch missed the Cardinals' initial practices due to personal reasons, however, he is now cleared to play in the Week 5 matchup against the Lions.
