Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love is expected to be available for the team’s Week 1 matchup, according to head coach Mike LaFleur. Love, who is dealing with an ankle injury, participated in portions of the team’s walkthrough practice on Monday, September 7, demonstrating enough progress for the coaching staff to express optimism about his participation in the season opener.
LaFleur’s positive assessment regarding Love’s status comes after the running back showed he could complete certain activities during the light practice session. The fact that he was able to take part in the walkthrough suggests the injury may not be severe enough to keep him sidelined for the first game of the season.
Fantasy football players monitoring Love’s availability should keep watch throughout the week as the team provides additional updates on his condition. While Love may take the field for Week 1, his workload could be limited initially as he continues his recovery from the ankle issue, potentially positioning him as a backup option or flex play rather than a primary fantasy contributor in the immediate term.
