Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a high ankle sprain during Sunday's overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The team announced Love will miss four to five weeks.
Second Ankle Injury This Season
This marks Love's second ankle injury of the 2026 campaign. His first occurred during the preseason. The latest setback happened in the first half when he was tackled by multiple Cowboys defenders.
Through six games, Love has rushed for 268 yards and one touchdown on 76 carries, averaging 3.5 yards per attempt. He also has 11 receptions for one receiving touchdown. His best performance came against the San Francisco 49ers, where he gained 90 yards on 21 carries and caught all five targets for a touchdown in a 36-30 loss.
With Love sidelined, the Cardinals will rely more heavily on Tyler Allgeier, who leads Arizona with 323 rushing yards. Allgeier, formerly a backup to Bijan Robinson in Atlanta, posted 191 total yards and two touchdowns in the win over Dallas.
