Allgeier was listed as the starting running back on the Cardinals' unofficial depth chart in advance of Sunday's season opener versus the Chargers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.
Head coach Mike LaFleur expressed optimism Tuesday that rookie Jeremiyah Love would be ready to play Sunday after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Cardinals' preseason opener, but the No. 3 overall pick in April's draft isn't expected to handle a workhorse role right away. Allgeier appears well-positioned to have a meaningful role in the Week 1 game plan, whether he ends up starting or not.
