Jeremiyah Love, the Arizona Cardinals’ running back, is officially out for the entire week of practice. Man, this high ankle sprain is already sounding like a headache for Arizona’s coaching staff as the regular season looms.
Arizona’s Coaching Staff Is Facing Early Headaches
Love is in rehab after getting dinged up against the Raiders in their second preseason exhibition. Seriously, a high ankle sprain is no joke, and while he’s supposedly on track for Week One, those things can totally overstay their welcome. The timing is super awkward, too, with head coach Mike LaFleur’s brother bringing the Packers to town for joint practices this week before the preseason finale. Get this: only one guy named Love is gonna see the field, and it’s NOT the Cardinals’ running back. Talk about awkward family reunions, right? And yeah, LaFleur himself was already ripping into his team, believing a “sloppy” practice week led right into their preseason loss against the Cowboys. To add to the chaos, both of their starting guards missed Monday’s practice. It just feels like early season woes are piling up for the desert birds.
Roster Moves and League Buzz Shaking Things Up
Amidst the injury drama, the Cardinals did make a couple of roster tweaks: they activated EDGE Josh Sweat from the PUP list and, on the flip side, waived running back Trey Benson. Meanwhile, the rest of the league is making some real moves and headlines. The Patriots, for instance, traded Kayshon Boutte to the Texans for safety Jaylen Reed. But the real jaw-dropper? Niners owner Jed York was arrested on suspicion of engaging in prostitution. Seriously wild stuff. Makes you wonder what’s going on down there. Oh, and apparently, history is not buying the hype around the 2027 quarterback draft class.
The Cardinals have their preseason finale coming up after these joint practices. They really need to get healthy, get their practice habits sorted, and figure out this backfield situation if they want to avoid a rocky start to the season.
