Jeremiyah Love dealing with ankle injury from preseason debut vs. Raiders

Arizona Cardinals running back Jeremiyah Love is dealing with an ankle injury picked up in Thursday’s 27-14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters postgame.

LaFleur added he does not think it’s serious and that the running back could have returned if needed.

“I would think (he would practice this week) based off of our conversations but you never know. It’s like one of those things where maybe tomorrow it’s a little more sore than the next,” LaFleur said.

“We’ll take that day by day. But just talking to him in there, he was good, excited and happy to be out there playing.”

Love picking up an injury is about the only blemish to his strong preseason debut.

Racking up 14 touches (11 carries, three catches) for 72 yards throughout the first half, Love provided a glimpse as to why Arizona pulled the trigger on the rookie running back with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Love wasn’t the only rookie to suffer an injury on Thursday.

Second-rounder Chase Bisontis was carted off the field after going down with a left knee injury.

LaFleur said he is undergoing testing but it’s “not good.”
