Saints cut K Daniel Carlson

Arizona will be without one of its top offensive players for at least the next four weeks.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, running back Jeremiyah Love will be placed on injured reserve due to a high-ankle sprain suffered during Sunday’s win over the Cowboys.

This is a different ankle sprain than the one Love previously dealt with this season, the story points out. The story added the initial timeline has Love returning in four to five weeks. As we reported Monday, Knight is in protocol and has a real chance to miss Week 9's game, leaving Allgeier as the team's lone back. Allgeier is coming off a huge game in Week 8, however, and would likely see a bulk of the work, but the Cards are at Seattle in Week 9. The story points out Hull is on the roster while Ford is on the practice squad.

Regarding receiver George Pickens, Jerry Jones said this, via Jon Machota of The Athletic: “He needs the ball coming his way more.”

Through eight games, Pickens has 62 targets. In Week 8 against the Cardinals, Pickens had the ball thrown in his direction only four times. Against the Eagles in Week 7, Pickens had six targets, the story pointed out. Pickens projects for 83 catches for 1,132 yards and 8.5 touchdowns this year after collecting 93 receptions, 1,429 yards, and nine scores a year ago.

Multiple teams are interested in running back Tony Pollard. So far, however, G.M. Mike Borgonzi has declined to engage in conversations about a potential trade.

Whether that will change remains to be seen, with or without someone calling owner Amy Adams Strunk directly.

Pollard has been on fire over the last two weeks so his stock is going up, despite possibly being a Plan B behind Jonathan Taylor and Saquon Barkley, who the Eagles say they will not trade. If the Titans do move on from Pollard, Spears (although he's been out the past two weeks) could move into the RB1 role. Singleton was drafted this past spring but really hasn't been a factor, although his role would likely increase with a Pollard trade.
