Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, and it sounds like the team is considering holding him out of this weekend'd game vs. the Rams.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love looked inevitable in posting a 21-90 rushing line and 5-19-1 receiving against the 49ers in Week 3. But he has garnered just 1 target in each of the two games since while averaging a mere 11.3 carries per contest outside of Week 3. One key issue: Tyler Allgeier's getting passing-down work, limiting the rookie's receiving opportunities.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Chargers. The rookie seems to be trending toward playing but admitted on Thursday that he won’t be at 100%. Love is shaping up as a risky Week 1 fantasy start. We’ll look for further updates on his status between now and 4:25 pm ET kickoff on Sunday. RB Tyler Allgeier figures to play a significant role in the opener.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. He's seemingly on track to make his debut vs. the Chargers this weekend, but it's unclear how big a role the rookie will play coming off his high-ankle sprain. We'll keep an eye on Love's status over the next few days and look for reports on Arizona's plans for him.

A source told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo that Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love is "about 50/50" to play Week 1. "Nobody really knows right now," Garafolo added. "They need to see how he progresses over the next week plus."

Cardinals RB James Conner will begin his 10th season on injured reserve, designated to return, per Cardinals beat reporter John Gambadoro. The veteran back will miss at least the first four games to open the 2026 campaign.

Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur admitted Wednesday that it's "too early to tell" whether RB James Conner will be available for Week 1. Conner continues to work back from last September's season-ending right ankle injury. He's "progressing well," LaFleur added.

The news keeps getting worse for Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the rookie has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain. "It makes it unlikely that Love plays again this preseason, with the team hoping he can return for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener vs the Chargers," Schefter adds.

RB Jeremiyah Love got his first preseason action Thursday night in the Cardinals' second exhibition, and they worked him like a lead back against the Raiders. The third overall pick racked up 14 first-half touches: 11 carries for 58 yards (5.3 per rush) and 3 receptions for 14 yards on three targets. Love also came away from the game with a minor ankle injury, but it appears we don't need to worry about that.

SI's Albert Breer visited Cardinals training camp this week and says that you might want to temper your expectations for rookie RB Jeremiyah Love's workload.

Arizona showed us what it thinks of RB Jeremiyah Love’s talent by drafting him third overall this spring, to a team with plenty of needs. But coaches aren’t doing anything to anoint him an immediate backfield leader at the start of camp. Free-agent addition Tyler Allgeier reportedly opened with the starters at the team’s first open practice, and OC Nathaniel Hackett mentioned James Conner first when asked broadly about the outlook for his 2026 backfield.

The Cardinals selected RB Jeremiyah Love with the third overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. He's the first RB selected in the top 5 since Saquon Barkley in 2018. Love dominated as a two-year starter at Notre Dame, averaging 6.9 yards per carry over that span. He also led the FBS with 40 total TDs. The 212-pounder was the clear RB1 in this class. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Love ranked fourth in 2025 rushing market share (55.9%) and first in yards after contact per attempt (4.5). He ranked second in 2025 in missed tackles forced per attempt (0.28) and third in receiving yards per route run (1.83).

RB Tyler Allgeier signed a two-year, $12.25 million contract with the Cardinals, joining James Conner and Trey Benson. After serving as the backup to Bijan Robinson over the past three seasons, Allgeier will compete for carries in a crowded situation. Conner took a paycut to stay with the Cardinals, so Allgeier could lead the backfield in touches. But this certainly wasn't the ideal signing for Allgeier's fantasy value in 2026.

Bijan Robinson hit the 20-carry mark in back-to-back games for the first time this season, but Robinson was held to 86 rushing yards and no TDs in Atlanta's 37-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Falcons were officially eliminated from postseason contention after dropping their seventh game in their last eight outings. Robinson tied a season-low with just 2 receptions and his 8 receicving yards were his second-lowest of the season.

Colts DT DeForest Buckner won't travel to Germany with the team for Sunday morning's game against the Falcons, according to multiple reports. Buckner's dealing with a neck injury. Fortunately, he'll get a Week 11 bye on the other side of this game to rest it. We'll see whether anything else comes out about Buckner missing further time.

Falcons HC Raheem Morris said Wednesday that he feels "really good" about QB Michael Penix's chances of playing vs. the Patriots this weekend, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Penix remains "day to day" with the bone bruise in his knee, Morris added. We'll keeps tabs on his practice participation over the next few days. Penix has been inconsistent this season. But, after what we saw from QB Kirk Cousins last week, Penix's return would be good news for Atlanta's offense.

Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier (hip, knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Dolphins. He got in three limited practices this week and never seemed to be in real danger of missing this one. With the Falcons 7-point home favorites over a pathetic Dolphins run defense, Allgeier is on the RB3/Flex radar this week.

Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier (hip, knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Dolphins. He got in three limited practices this week, and we haven’t heard anything to suggest that he’s in real danger of missing this one. But if you’re hoping to start Allgeier in this dream matchup against Miami, check back around 11:30 am ET on Sunday to make sure he’s active.

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson busted off 143 yards on 22 carries in Sunday’s Week 2 win over the Vikings. Robinson tallied runs of 25 and 17 yards on the first two plays of the game alone.
