Love’s Status Key for Cardinals | NFL News

0:00On September 8th, alright, let's talk about the Arizona Cardinals gearing up for their season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers. A major storyline is the availability of rookie Jeremiah Love, who's been sideline with a high ankle sprain. The word on Monday was pretty encouraging. Head coach Michael Flour sounded optimistic about Love's chances of playing, stating he felt good about the situation. However, it's not a done deal yet. The team will drop their official injury report after practice on Wednesday, so we'll have to wait for that to get a clearer picture. Love went down with that ankle injury during the preseason, specifically in their win against the Raiders. He hasn't hit the practice field yet, and based on the Flour's comments, it sounds like he wasn't participating in team drills on Monday either. This is a big deal, because Love, being the third overall pick, is expected to be a key player in their offense. If he can't go, expect Tyler Algear and BAM Knight to carry the load in the backfield.
