Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a high ankle sprain during Sunday's overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The injury is expected to sideline him for four to five weeks.
This marks Love's second ankle injury of the season; he previously sustained an ankle issue during the preseason. The latest injury occurred in the first half when he was tackled by multiple Cowboys defenders. In six games this season, Love has rushed for 268 yards and one touchdown on 76 carries, averaging 3.5 yards per attempt, while adding 11 receptions for one receiving touchdown.
Love's standout performance came against the San Francisco 49ers, where he gained 90 yards on 21 carries and caught all five targets for a touchdown in a 36-30 loss. With Love sidelined, the Cardinals will rely more heavily on Tyler Allgeier, who leads the team with 323 rushing yards and recorded 191 total yards with two touchdowns in the win over Dallas.
