Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love said he is ready for the team’s second game after recovering from an ankle sprain sustained during the preseason. Love made the comments Thursday before his home debut against the Seattle Seahawks.
The 21-year-old was selected third in the 2026 NFL Draft after playing at Notre Dame. He appeared in Arizona’s regular-season opener, a Sunday victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, and scored his first NFL touchdown.
Love’s availability in that game led to discussion about whether he had fully recovered from the injury. Addressing those concerns, Love said, "Going into this next week, it's all gas, no breaks."
Coach Mike LaFleur said Tyler Allgeier’s larger role than Love’s in the opener was related to the way the game developed, rather than Love’s ankle recovery. The source did not provide a final snap count for Love in the upcoming game.
The Cardinals are expected to use Love in many first- and second-down situations against Seattle, while Allgeier is slated for third-down and short-yardage plays. Further details about Love’s condition were not provided.
