Summary
- Jeremiyah Love is sidelined with his third distinct ankle injury this season.
- The rookie running back exited the Week 8 game early against the Cowboys.
- Coach LaFleur confirmed a new, unspecified ankle issue impacting Love.
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love continues to battle a series of injuries, now dealing with his third different ankle issue of the 2026 season. The third overall pick suffered this latest setback during the team's Week 8 victory over the Dallas Cowboys.
Head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed on Monday that this injury is new and not related to Love's previous ankle problems. Love had nine carries for 23 yards before exiting the game in the first half.
The rookie's season has been significantly hampered by these health concerns, limiting his playing time and impact. Coach LaFleur expressed frustration for Love, noting his dedication and desire to contribute to the team despite these ongoing challenges.
Bam Knight also sustained an injury in the same game, leaving Tyler Allgeier as the Cardinals' sole healthy running back. The team is preparing for their Week 9 game against the Seattle Seahawks.
