Jeremiyah Love is still off the field this week. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur just confirmed Monday that their rookie running back won’t be practicing as the team preps for a joint session and a Friday preseason game up in Green Bay. Ugh, another week sidelined for the kid.
Love has been out with a high-ankle sprain he picked up back on August 13th during Arizona’s preseason matchup against the Raiders. LaFleur made it crystal clear to reporters, “He will not be on the field doing any sort of practice or anything like that right now.” It’s a tough break, especially when you’re trying to make your mark as a rookie.
Before that injury, Love actually put in some decent work against the Raiders. He had 14 touches, 11 rushing attempts, and three catches, totaling 72 yards in that game. Not bad at all. The big question now is when Arizona can get him back. The Cardinals are reportedly holding onto hope that Love can still return by Week 1. Talk about cutting it close, right?
