Cardinals RB will sit out the entire week of practice as he continues rehab from a high ankle sprain sustained against the Raiders in the second preseason exhibition.

Jeremiah Love is positioned as a primary option in the Arizona Cardinals running back room following Trey Benson's waiver. The source identifies Love alongside Tyler Allgeier as the team's main competing backs, with Benson's release clearing depth chart uncertainty and opening opportunity for Love in the backfield.NegativeInjuryAug 22, 2026
Love suffered an injury during the second preseason game that will sideline him for joint practices and likely beyond; the source had previously criticized the preseason usage (14 first-half touches in game two) as excessive and unsustainable, pacing him for 450+ touches in a season, raising durability concerns for a rookie.PositiveProjectionAug 22, 2026
Love's season rushing total has plummeted to 725.5 yards at FanDuel Sportsbook; the source recommends hammering the over on this projection if Love returns healthy and ready for week one, implying the market has overreacted to his preseason injury and the projection is undervalued.NegativeProjectionAug 22, 2026
Arizona Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort had already made the decision to select RB Jeremiyah Love at the start of draft week before the first round on Thursday night. BetMGM opened Love at 30-1 odds to go #3 overall, then suddenly shifted to 2-1 odds two days ahead of the draft. DraftKings reported before the draft that more bets and more money had been wagered on Love to go #3 than any other player offered. This unusual betting pattern and odds movement became the basis of an NFL gambling investigation into Cardinals Director of College Scouting Ryan Gold, who allegedly had access to non-public draft information.NegativeInjuryAug 21, 2026
Cardinals rookie running back dealing with a high ankle sprain sustained in the Raiders preseason game. The coaching staff has decided to keep him out of remaining preseason games, with the team hoping he can return for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener vs. the Chargers.NegativeInjuryAug 21, 2026
Rookie RB Jeremiah Love is nursing an ankle injury and is earmarked for rest in the preseason game against Dallas, limiting his availability for roster evaluation.NegativeProjectionAug 19, 2026
First-round running back has 'makings of being one of the guys you will mention in Cardinals' lore'; offers great vision, exceptional hands, and willing blocking—all essential in new offensive scheme; source projects he will need 1,000+ yards in rookie campaign and NFL All-Rookie Team selection, then exceed 1,200 yards in sophomore year; drawn comparisons to Bijan Robinson, DeMarco Murray, and Jamaal Charles (smooth, polished movement with home-run speed); injury durability is critical concern given how many great backs fell by wayside; five-year evaluation window will determine if Love becomes one of the greats or just a good back who couldn't succeed at next level.NegativeUsageAug 17, 2026
In preseason action, Love recorded 14 touches (11 carries, 3 receptions) in less than a half of play, which projects to approximately 31 touches per game; the source questions whether a rookie can realistically sustain 25+ touches per game when he never exceeded 200 touches in any college season and had only 350+ touches across his entire college career, suggesting the preseason usage pattern is not reflective of a realistic game script.NegativeInjuryAug 17, 2026

Third-overall selection sustained a high-ankle sprain during preseason game against the Raiders after receiving 14 touches; expected to miss time, potentially into the regular season.

Cardinals rookie RB sustained a high ankle sprain on his final touch in the preseason win over Las Vegas after recording 14 touches in the first half. The source reports it makes it unlikely Love plays again this preseason, with the team targeting a return for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener vs the Chargers. High ankle sprains typically require ~3 weeks recovery for RBs and can result in close to a 25% production dip upon return, though the impact is less negative for RBs with high receiving upside. The injury occurred on the play itself, and while it sounded mild, monitoring over the next few weeks is warranted.PositiveUsageAug 16, 2026
Love was used effectively by both Brissett and Minshew as both a runner and short-gain receiver, demonstrating versatility in the Cardinals' offensive scheme and contributing to multiple scoring drives.NegativeInjuryAug 15, 2026
Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is out this week with an ankle injury that proved more sore than anticipated; coach Mike LaFleur did not comment on his status for week one, raising concern about a potential lingering issue. Love received 14 preseason touches in week one, which would pace him for 238 touches on the season—13 more than his Notre Dame career high—and the source argues this excessive early workload may have contributed to the injury, questioning whether such volume was necessary for a high draft investment in week one of the preseason.PositiveBreakoutAug 14, 2026
Love, a rookie, opened the game with a three-yard carry and impressed with runs of 14 and 16 yards, finishing with 11 carries for 58 yards (long of 16) and three receptions for 14 yards. The source notes he 'ran like he had been there before' and 'displayed the juice,' though he left with an apparent ankle issue that warrants monitoring before Week 1.PositiveRoleAug 14, 2026
Third-overall pick received 14 touches in preseason debut against Raiders, all in first half; 11 carries for 58 yards and 3 catches for 13 yards. Showed burst, speed, and hurdle ability that justified high draft capital. Strong outing with no injury concerns despite aggressive workload for first preseason game.PositiveUsageAug 14, 2026

Love will get his first live action in a Cardinals uniform in the preseason game against Las Vegas. The source notes this is a low-stakes evaluation opportunity that means nothing for his overall fantasy outlook but provides a chance to see him perform in game action before moving on.PositiveRoleAug 13, 2026

One drive, max of two for those main guys.' Love's snap count will be capped in the preseason game.PositiveBreakoutAug 11, 2026
Love looks great at everything he does with great cutting ability and extremely good hands in the short game. He is getting his fair share of first-team reps, which is valuable if Allgeier cannot learn to catch passes quickly.

The Arizona Cardinals have decided not to play their rookie third overall pick in the Hall of Fame Game on Thursday. Love is being managed with kid gloves in the preseason due to his status as the running back with the most guaranteed money in NFL history, even after Bijan Robinson's recent contract; the Cardinals' top three running backs are very unlikely to see much if any preseason action.PositiveBreakoutAug 5, 2026

It doesn't look like rookie RB Jeremiyah Love will be the starting running back just yet. Veteran James Conner has been getting the majority of the first-team reps instead of Love.

Third overall pick rookie running back for the Cardinals; the source frames him as the natural candidate to lead the team in rushing touchdowns in 2026, though questions whether giving him every touch is the optimal deployment strategy for a rookie.PositiveProjectionJul 22, 2026
As the third overall pick, Love is tasked with being a top seven running back in the NFL from the jump; his rushing touchdown line is set at 5.5 over/under at FanDuel Sportsbook, with most money coming in on the over. The source notes that a Bijan Robinson-level slow rookie season is not a negative given the Cardinals' deep running back room (Tyler Allgeier and James Conner also present), meaning Love doesn't have to lead the team in rushing touchdowns in 2026 for his draft capital to be justified—a similar trajectory to Robinson's rookie season would be sufficient.
