Jeremiyah Love entered the 2026 season as the No. 3 overall pick and the recipient of a four-year, $53 million contract, the largest rookie deal for a running back. Coach Mike LaFleur has emphasized a transparent, rotating workload that pairs Love with veterans James Conner, Tyler Allgeier and newcomer Trey Benson, while also protecting the $50 million investment. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett received a $10 million raise and confirmed he will start Week 1. Following his preseason debut on Aug 13 against the Las Vegas Raiders, where Love recorded 58 yards on 11 carries, LaFleur announced that the rookie would miss training camp due to a high ankle sprain. While such injuries typically require a 6-8 week recovery period, Love’s availability for the regular-season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on September 13 has been a point of uncertainty. As of September 8, LaFleur indicated that Love has been “moving around at practice” and expressed optimism regarding his availability for Week 1. While Love has been listed as a limited participant in recent injury reports, LaFleur noted the rookie was “out there moving around” during practice. Despite the injury, Love is currently listed as the No. 2 running back on the depth chart behind Tyler Allgeier, though LaFleur maintains the team intends to use a platoon system to manage workloads. Meanwhile, the Cardinals continue to focus on integrating Jacoby Brissett into the offensive scheme following a summer contract holdout. The team also continues to manage depth issues, including rookie guard Chase Bisontis, who is on injured reserve with a torn MCL, and Trey Benson, who has been dealing with a knee issue.
