Hackett declines to name Love starter, downplays rookie's chances vs. Conner.

Cardinals OC Nathaniel Hackett declined to name Love the starting running back as training camp opened, instead emphasizing excitement about incumbent James Conner. When asked about Love's progression, Hackett said 'he's definitely a rookie,' seemingly downplaying the first-round pick's chances of winning the job. The source notes Hackett may be managing expectations and ensuring Conner doesn't feel displaced after his foot injury, but the public messaging suggests Love will need to earn the starting role rather than receive it outright.
