Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will be placed on IR with a high-ankle sprain suffered in the Week 8 win over the Cowboys, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That knocks Love out for at least the next four games, but Rapoport says the rookie is expected to miss 4-5 weeks. The long end of that timetable would extend through Week 13. Arizona then gets a Week 14 bye. Don't be surprised if Love is held out until Week 15. He's fine to stash in fantasy leagues with deep benches and/or IR spots, but Love is a drop candidate in shallower leagues. RBs Tyler Allgeier and Bam Knight will resume splitting the backfield in the meantime, once Knight is cleared from his concussion.

Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur said Monday that RB Jeremiyah Love suffered a new right ankle injury in the Week 8 win over the Cowboys. Love suffered a high right ankle sprain in the preseason, hurt his left ankle in Week 2, and then suffered this new right ankle injury vs. Dallas. LaFleur didn't give any more details on the latest injury, but we'd be surprised if Love played against the Seahawks this weekend. It's starting to feel like a lost rookie season. Arizona also lost RB Bam Knight to a concussion yesterday, leaving him no better than 50/50 for Week 9. His absence would likely leave Tyler Allgeier in an every-down role.

Tyler Allgeier helped spark and eventually pull off a shocking win over the Cowboys. He ran for 147 yards and a TD on 11 carries while adding 5 receptions for 44 more yards and TD. His season-high 36.1 PPR points lands him an RB1 ranking ahead of Sunday- and Monday Night Football.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love suffered an apparent right ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. That's the same ankle he hurt this preseason. Love eventually headed back to the locker room with trainers. Stay tuned for an update.

Update: Love is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, and is off the final injury report. HC Mike LaFleur said Friday that Love is "feeling as good as he can feel." It certainly doesn’t sound like he’s all the way back to 100%. Consider the rookie a risk/reward fantasy start in Sunday’s plus matchup against the Cowboys’ league-worst RB defense. RB Tyler Allgeier (toe) only got in two limited practices this week but is off the final injury report.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. We're tentatively projecting him to play vs. the Cowboys this weekend but will see how he gets through the rest of the practice week. RB Tyler Allgeier (toe) did not practice on Wednesday, clouding his Week 8 status. RB Bam Knight is worth a roster spot in virtually all fantasy leagues as we wait to see how this backfield plays out over the next few days.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) will practice on Wednesday, HC Mike LaFleur said. Love sat out the last 2 games to rest up a left ankle injury. We'll see how he makes it through the practice week, but he should have a good chance to return for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He'd carry some risk in his first game back, but that matchup would make him worth starting in most fantasy leagues. A healthy Love is still a good bet to resume lead-back duties for the Cardinals, even if they want to keep other RBs involved. Arizona notably has the fifth-easiest remaining RB schedule.

Cardinals RB Zonovan Knight saw a boost in usage with Jeremiyah Love out for another week. While Tyler Allgeier led in carries – 8 to 7 – Knight held the edge in yards (48 to 19). Both backs caught three passes, with Knight leading in target share (10% to 7%) and route rate (48% to 41%).

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. The team seems committed to sitting him until he’s at least close to 100%, which should help his fantasy value longer term. RBs Tyler Allgeier (19 touches) and Bam Knight (17 touches) split backfield work almost right down the middle with Love out last week. Both guys land in RB3 territory in our Week 7 rankings.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Mike LaFleur said. The rookie was held out of last week's game vs. the Rams, and it's looking like he'll miss at least one more as he tries to get that ankle right. RBs Tyler Allgeier (18 carries, 2 targets) and Zonovan Knight (15 carries, 2 targets) surprisingly split work almost down the middle last week. That leaves both guys as just RB3s against the Broncos' 17th-ranked RB defense this weekend.

Cardinals RB Zonovan Knight led the backfield with 80 rushing yards against the Rams. His 15 carries came in three behind Tyler Allgeier’s count, while Allgeier lagged well behind in yards per carry (2.1 to 5.3). Both backs saw increased usage with Jeremiyah Love (ankle) inactive.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. The team is getting him some much-needed rest for a left-ankle injury he's been battling for the past couple of weeks, but HC Mike LaFleur said Friday that the team is not considering placing Love on IR. His absence this weekend leaves Arizona's backfield to Tyler Allgeier and Zonovan Knight. Expect Allgeier to handle the vast majority of the work, but he gets just about the worst possible spot with the Cardinals 12.5-point road underdogs. Allgeier checks in 22nd in our updated Week 6 RB rankings.

Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday, and it sounds like the team is considering holding him out of this weekend'd game vs. the Rams.
