Cardinals-Chargers injury report: Jeremiyah Love, Garrett Williams limited ahead of Week 1

The Arizona Cardinals posted their first weekly injury report of the 2026 season after Wednesday’s practice, which revealed that running back Jeremiyah Love and cornerback Garrett Williams were limited, while edge rusher Josh Sweat did not participate.

Head coach Mike LaFleur has said multiple times that he feels good about Love’s prospects for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers and that the Cardinals would see how he progresses this week in practice. The No. 3 overall pick suffered a high-ankle sprain during a preseason game last month.

Sweat is on track to play Sunday despite his absence on the practice field on Wednesday, LaFleur said. Sweat came off the physically unable to perform list during the preseason, as he enters Year 2 with Arizona after signing as a free agent.

Cardinals pass rusher Josh Sweat is not expected to have any restrictions this week, per Mike LaFleur.
