Jeremiyah Love injury: Arizona Cardinals RB expected to miss Week 7

Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is expected to miss a second straight week with his lingering ankle injury.

The Arizona Cardinals have announced that rookie running back Jeremiyah Love will likely miss Week 7 due to a lingering ankle injury. Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports that Love will not participate in practice on Wednesday and is expected to sit out the Cardinals' game against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Love has been dealing with this injury for weeks, which is not the same ankle he sprained during the preseason.

Despite feeling better, Coach Mike LaFleur insists that they will not start him until he is fully recovered. Love has played in five games this season, rushing for 245 yards and a touchdown, averaging 3.7 yards per attempt. Tyler Allgeier is set to start in Love's absence, while Bam Knight will take his place. Evan Hull may be elevated from the practice squad. The Cardinals will rely on other players to fill the void left by Love's absence.
