Jeremiyah Love Injury Update: Cardinals RB’s Week 6 Status Revealed

Jeremiyah Love has battled an ankle injury throughout the season, and the ailment will keep the running back sidelined for Week 6. The Arizona Cardinals gave him the most guaranteed money of any running back in NFL history when they selected him with the third-overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft , and it’s easy to see why. The Notre Dame product dominated at the collegiate level, routinely flashing his elite athleticism and ability to make plays both as a runner and a returner. In theory, he has the talent to be a true three-down workhorse like Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson and Detroit’s Jahmyr Gibbs . Unfortunately for everyone involved, Jeremiyah Love suffered an ankle injury during his first real taste of NFL action. The running back suffered an ankle injury midway through the contest and missed most of the preseason. While he has played in five games despite the injury, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport revealed the running back will not play in Week 6, as the team is resting him in hopes of ensuring his long-term health. Jeremiyah Love Injury Update: Cardinals RB OUT For Week 6 While Jeremiyah Love has played in every game this season, he hasn’t lived up to his pre-draft hype. So far, the running back has recorded just 245 yards and one touchdown on 67 attempts, good for just 3.7 yards per carry. While the Cardinals passing attack and subpar offensive line certainly haven’t done anything to ease the pressure on the rookie, he hasn’t looked like his college self either. Hopefully, taking some time to rest will help him recapture his previous form. In his absence, free agent signee Tyler Allgeier will get the start. The former Atlanta Falcon has had similar struggles behind Arizona’s offensive line, recording just 119 yards and one touchdown on 35 attempts throughout the young season.
