Love suffered an ankle injury in Week 8 that the Cardinals' OC Mike LaFleur described as "new." Love was placed on injured reserve and will miss at minimum the next four weeks.

Through eight games, Love has managed only 114 touches for 309 yards and 2 touchdowns, with multiple games missed due to injury.

Arizona Cardinals placed the third overall pick on injured reserve with a high-ankle sprain, sidelining him 4-5 weeks; this marks his third ankle injury of the rookie season. Love's season has been derailed by injury since preseason, when offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur was ramping him up to 15 touches per half in his only preseason game. Through eight games, Love has managed only 9–26 touches per game with inconsistent production (23–109 yards), and missed two games prior to the IR placement. The source characterizes this as a disastrous rookie season for the first-round pick.

Running back Jeremiyah Love, the No. 3 overall pick out of Notre Dame, will be placed on injured reserve due to a high-ankle sprain suffered during Sunday's win over the Cowboys; this is a different ankle sprain than one he previously dealt with this season.

Cardinals rookie RB Jeremiyah Love is headed to injured reserve with a right high-ankle sprain suffered in Sunday's win over Dallas; the injury will sideline him for a minimum of four games (Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs, Commanders). This is Love's third ankle injury in his rookie season—he previously sprained his right ankle in preseason and his left ankle in Week 4, which cost him games against the Rams and Broncos. The No. 3 overall pick has struggled with efficiency in six games (268 rushing yards, 1 TD on 3.5 yards per carry; 11 catches for 36 yards and 1 TD), and the recurring ankle injuries raise durability concerns despite his elite college pedigree (1,652 yards from scrimmage and 21 TDs at Notre Dame in 2025).
