Cardinals' Love sidelined at least a week with ankle injury

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love will miss at least the next week of action due to an ankle injury, head coach Mike LaFleur announced Saturday.

LaFleur revealed that while Love could have returned to Thursday's preseason game against the Raiders after injuring his ankle, the injury has turned out to be "a little more sore" than initially thought. The third overall pick will now miss next Saturday's preseason matchup against the Cowboys. newssport.cv

The Cardinals have several other running backs on their roster, including Tyler Allgeier, James Connor, Trey Benson, Bam Knight, Evan Hull, and Corey Kiner. LaFleur did not commit to Love's return for the team's third preseason game, saying they will re-evaluate his status down the line.
