Cardinals Beat: Team seems to be managing RB Jeremiyah Love

Jeremiyah Love had 30 snaps on Sunday. Tyler Allgeier had 36. Love finished with 14 carries for 62 yards; Allgeier had eight for 42.

Whatever the reason, Love isn’t consistently where he’d like to be. It seems that the ankle is still something of an issue, even if he insists it isn’t.

Officially, it’s not the ankle. Although Love was limited throughout the practice week before the regular-season opener against the Chargers, Love has not appeared on the injury report since then.

Fantasy Impact: 

UPDATE: After posting this news story from PFT, it's been announced Love tweaked his other ankle in Week 4.

When the game was on the line, it was Allgeier on the field instead of Love. Love had just 11 snaps in the second half the story said. Love seems frustrated with the management and wants to be on the field more and did dance around the ankle injury topic, indicating it may still be an issue even if it's not preventing him from playing. The days of Love being the workhorse back are probably coming in the future, and it seems to be part of the Cardinals plan all along to at least manage Love through his rookie season.
