Love (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Chargers, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports. Love has been tending to a high-ankle sprain that he suffered preseason Week 1, and nearly one month later, he was able to log three consecutive limited practices and set himself up for his pro debut. Ultimately, the Cardinals may not make a call on Love's status until roughly 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, which was corroborated by coach Mike LaFleur, who told Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com on Friday that Love will be a game-time decision. In the end, an active Love on Sunday would share the backfield with Tyler Allgeier.

Love (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Chargers, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports. Love managed limited practice participation Wednesday and Thursday, so a full practice Friday would go a long way toward giving his fantasy managers confidence. It's not yet clear if the practice upgrade will happen, but Love apparently is expected to play in any case. It's also not clear how backfield work will be divided between the rookie and Tyler Allgeier.

Love (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports. Love's status for Week 1 has been murky since he emerged from the Cardinals' preseason opener with a high-ankle sprain, which coach Mike LaFleur downplayed for most of the past month. When LaFleur discussed Love ahead of Wednesday's session, he told PHNX Sports "don't look too far into that" when discussing the rookie's listing as the No. 2 RB on the team's unofficial depth chart, while at the same time telling Brack that "there's no limit on our end" to Love's activity level. Considering Love's listing of "limited" Wednesday, he still has some work to do to be available for Sunday's game at the Chargers. Tyler Allgeier would serve as Arizona's lead back Week 1 if Love is operating with a cap on his reps or doesn't suit up, while Bam Knight would be in line for some work as well.

We don't know how healthy Love will be in his return from the high-ankle sprain he suffered in the preseason opener against the Raiders on Aug. 13, but his touches could be limited. He's going to share work with Tyler Allgeier, and the Cardinals could be cautious with Love if he's not at 100 percent. The Chargers also were No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs last year, and only seven running backs scored double digits in PPR against Los Angeles, including none in the final four weeks of the season. I would only use Love as a flex option in most leagues in Week 1.

Coach Mike LaFleur said Love (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. In typical LaFleur fashion, the coach tried to be wishy-washy and hide things from the media by saying Love is not expected to be limited in practice, but his status for Sunday's opener against the Chargers depends on how the running back looks during the practice week. The Cardinals have already listed Tyler Allgeier ahead of their No. 3 overall pick Love on the backfield depth chart. Love will shape up as a shaky RB3 for fantasy if he's active against Los Angeles.
