Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love injures an ankle during the team’s first preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders and is expected to miss at least a week, according to head coach Mike LaFleur. Love exits the game after taking part in the matchup, with multiple outlets describing his early involvement before the injury occurs.

LaFleur initially indicates Love could have returned for the preseason game against the Raiders, but later updates suggest the ankle issue is more serious than first thought. Reports note Love made a notable debut for Arizona and had an active first half before the injury. Fox News adds that Tyler Allgeier steps into the starting running back role as the Cardinals manage injuries that also include veteran James Conner during the week.

Other coverage focuses on the timing and “latest news” surrounding Love’s condition, reiterating that the team’s communications point to a short-term absence rather than an extended one at this stage. Across outlets, the key points center on the injury occurring in the Raiders preseason game and the immediate expectation of him missing more time as the team reassesses.
