- Jeremiyah Love is headed to injured reserve with a high ankle sprain that will sideline the rookie for four to five weeks; he will miss at least four weeks while on IR.
- Jeremiyah Love walked off the field during the first half against Dallas, slammed his helmet onto the ground, entered the blue injury tent and later walked to the locker room.
- Mike LaFleur said Love’s latest issue affects a new portion of the ankle and is unrelated to two earlier sprains—one in Arizona’s second preseason game against the Raiders and another early in the season—with each ankle sustaining one injury.
- Jeremiyah Love had rushed for 268 yards and one touchdown over six games during his injury-plagued rookie campaign.
- Tyler Allgeier replaced Love as Arizona’s primary running back Sunday, gaining 191 yards from scrimmage and scoring two touchdowns in the Cardinals’ overtime victory in Dallas.
Why it matters: Arizona loses its third-overall draft pick for at least four weeks, and Tyler Allgeier has already become the primary back. His 191 yards and two touchdowns in Dallas provide Arizona with a concrete immediate alternative, while Love had rushed for 268 yards and one touchdown over six games before the latest injury.
