Cardinals Hope Jeremiyah Love Can Play Week 1 Despite Ankle Injury

Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love remains hopeful to be ready for Week 1 against the Chargers after an ankle injury described as a high ankle sprain; coaches had suggested he might miss at least a week, but reports say the team is still optimistic about his availability. If healthy, Love is viewed as a potential lead back, though Arizona’s backfield also includes Tyler Allgeier, James Conner and Trey Benson, so his early-season workload will depend on recovery and coaching decisions.
