Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love has been placed on injured reserve after suffering a high ankle sprain during Sunday's overtime victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The team announced he will miss 4-5 weeks.
This marks Love's second ankle injury of the season; his first occurred during the preseason. The latest injury happened in the first half when he was tackled by multiple Cowboys defenders.
In six games this season, Love has rushed for 268 yards and one touchdown, averaging 3.5 yards per carry. He also has 11 receptions and one receiving touchdown. His best performance came against the San Francisco 49ers, where he gained 90 yards on 21 carries and caught all five targets for a touchdown in a 36-30 loss.
With Love sidelined, the Cardinals will rely more on Tyler Allgeier, who leads Arizona with 323 rushing yards. Allgeier, formerly a backup to Bijan Robinson in Atlanta, recorded 191 total yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over Dallas.
