Love rushed 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for nine yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday. The rookie had been managing a high-ankle sprain for several weeks, but Love looked to be at full health when he capped off the Cardinals' first possession of the season with a five-yard scoring run around left end. Love found running room mostly at a premium the rest of the afternoon, and he ultimately finished with six fewer carries than veteran backfield mate Tyler Allgeier. Nevertheless, Love's usage also may have been the byproduct of a cautionary approach due to the first-round pick's lack of practice time this summer, and the Notre Dame product therefore could be in store for a larger workload in a Week 2 home showdown against the Seahawks next Sunday.

Love (ankle) is listed as active Sunday at the Chargers. Love thus has put the high-ankle sprain that he sustained in preseason Week 1 behind him, but considering he wasn't able to practice in more than a limited capacity this week, there's a decent chance that he won't be operating on all cylinders in his NFL debut. The third overall pick in this year's draft also will have to contend with Tyler Allgeier for work out of the Cardinals backfield, so Love may take some time to fulfill his draft status.

Love (ankle) remains listed as questionable but is expected to play in Sunday's game at the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Love initially suffered a high-ankle sprain during preseason Week 1, and after practicing in a limited fashion from Wednesday through Friday, he entered the weekend as questionable to suit up. Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reported Friday that Love was trending toward making his debut Sunday, and Rapoport's report indicates that the rookie third overall pick indeed will avoid the Cardinals' list of Week 1 inactives. Such a decision will become known about 90 minutes before a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but considering his lack of activity over the last month, Love may well be eased into his first NFL action while working in tandem with fellow running back Tyler Allgeier.

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.
