Cardinals' Injury Report: Love, Melton Nearing Return
27 Oct
Summary
- Jeremiyah Love, Max Melton expected to practice soon.
- James Conner and Tip Reiman injury returns are uncertain.
- Cardinals struggle in red zone despite leading in long drives.
The Arizona Cardinals' injury outlook is improving as head coach Mike LaFleur announced that running back Jeremiyah Love is expected to rejoin practice on Wednesday, October 28th, after missing two games with an ankle injury. Cornerback Max Melton and safety Andrew Wingard are also anticipated to return to practice on the same day, providing a boost to a struggling secondary.
However, the Cardinals are not optimistic about the return of defensive tackle Walter Nolen this week, and wide receiver Jalen Brooks will be out for the season due to a wrist injury requiring surgery. Further concerns were raised about running back James Conner and tight end Tip Reiman, with LaFleur expressing significant doubt about their return this season.
Despite a 2-5 record, the Cardinals plan to stick with quarterback Jacoby Brissett. LaFleur highlighted the team's ability to sustain long drives but acknowledged struggles in red zone execution, where they rank last in the league. LaFleur took responsibility for the team's offensive shortcomings, vowing to improve play-calling and scheme.
