Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur dropped some news that gave their faithful something to cheer about, telling reporters he feels “good” about running back Jeremiyah Love being ready for their Week 1 opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, September 13. This is huge for their offense, if Love can go!
Coach LaFleur Plays His Cards Close
Look, NFL coaches are notorious for keeping injury info under wraps, especially this early in the regular season. LaFleur was straight up hesitant to dish out details yesterday, Monday, September 7, as the team kicked off prep for Week 1. The league doesn’t even make ’em spill the beans until Wednesday, their first full practice of the week. But LaFleur still gave us a glimmer of hope on Love. Why hold back totally, right? He clearly feels something positive there.
Love Is “Moving Around”
So what’s the deal with Love? Turns out, he was “out there moving around” during a closed-door jog-through the Cardinals held on Monday. That’s a big step up from last week, where he was present at practice but wasn’t actually participating in the portions open to the media. It really sounds like progress, doesn’t it? Love on the field is a whole different beast.
We’ll all be watching for Wednesday. That’s when LaFleur says he’ll “have a better idea for all those (injured) guys.” Keep an eye out, Cardinals fans, because the opener against the Chargers on Sunday, September 13, is right around the corner, and getting Love back could be massive for their Week 1 hopes!
