Kendrick Bourne’s season is over before November even ends, and Jeremiyah Love is out for at least four games, as the Arizona Cardinals officially placed both players on injured reserve Tuesday. It is a major blow that forces some immediate roster adjustments for the club.
The Running Back Nightmare Continues
Jeremiyah Love’s health has been a real concern, and now it just got worse. The running back missed two games earlier this season because of a left ankle injury. He finally returned to action against the Cowboys on Sunday, which was a relief for fans, but now he is right back on the sidelines. The Cardinals announced Love has a high ankle sprain, this time in his right ankle. That means he will miss a minimum of the next four games, leaving a huge hole in the backfield. You gotta wonder if the guy can ever catch a break.
Receiver Down, Roster Upheaval
The news is even tougher for wide receiver Kendrick Bourne. His journey ends here, as he also went on injured reserve Tuesday with a broken tibia that will completely end his season. It is a brutal hit for the Cardinals’ receiving corps. To fill the void, Arizona wasted no time, signing rookie wide receiver Harrison Wallace III from their practice squad straight to the active roster.
They also re-signed veteran tight end Rivaldo Fairweather to the practice squad, bringing back a familiar face who was with the team during training camp. Fairweather is stepping in for practice squad tight end Kenny Yeboah, who himself was elevated for Sunday’s game before going on the IR/practice squad list on Tuesday. Rounding out the moves, defensive lineman Cam Horsley was released from the practice squad. With these injuries piling up, the Cardinals are doing some serious roster reshuffling right now. This team’s depth is about to be tested in a major way.
