Jeremiyah Love has a high ankle sprain
Key Points:
- Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love, the third overall pick in the 2026 draft, suffered a high ankle sprain during his preseason debut, which may delay his regular-season start.
- The team hopes Love can return in approximately four weeks, potentially in Week 1 against the Chargers.
- Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur initially did not specify the severity of Love's ankle injury, but it was later confirmed as a high ankle sprain, known for a longer recovery time.
- In response to the injury, the Cardinals worked out three running backs—Montrell Stewart, Blake Watson, and Tre Stewart—and signed Montrell Stewart.
- The current running back roster also includes veteran James Conner and recent free-agent signing Tyler Allegier.
