Jeremiyah Love, the Cardinals’ first-round running back, is officially sidelined. Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur dropped the news today, confirming Love will not suit up for Week 6, which is a big deal for their matchup.
Love’s Ankle Keeps Him Off the Field
Love’s been battling an ankle injury for the last couple of weeks, and it sounds like it’s been a real grind. LaFleur has been clear: the team wants their guy back at full health, no compromises. Love didn’t even sniff the practice field this week, making the decision to rule him out a no-brainer. This call gives him even more time to heal up properly. Nobody wants to rush a talent like that back and risk further injury, especially a first-round pick.
What This Means for the Rams and Beyond
Look, the Rams just caught a break. They won’t have to contend with Love this weekend, which definitely changes the dynamic of Arizona’s backfield. With Love out, Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight are set to carry the rock for the Cardinals against the Rams. While there haven’t been any conversations about putting Love on injured reserve, the team is definitely hoping to get him back on the field ahead of their Week 7 game. That’s a showdown against the Broncos, so getting a key player back before then would be huge for the Cardinals.
