The Arizona Cardinals’ rookie running back Jeremiyah Love is dealing with an ankle issue distinct from his preseason injury, with coach Mike LaFleur describing it as a manageable, recurring tweak. He played in Week 4 against the Giants, rushing for 63 yards on 14 carries, but an ankle flare-up limited him at times and he was out-snapped by Tyler Allgeier in the game. The team plans to monitor and manage the injury as they prepare for Week 5 against the Lions, prioritizing the long season over pushing Love back too soon. Love expressed frustration with not being 100 percent and acknowledged the balance between wanting to play and ensuring he’s productive for the team. The situation underscores ongoing vigilance around Love’s workload and Health-related decisions for the Cardinals’ backfield going forward.
