Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Scores TD in NFL debut
Jeremiyah Love rushed 11 times for 41 yards and a touchdown while bringing in two of four targets for nine yards in the Arizona 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.

Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Set for NFL debut
Jeremiyah 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 Arizona Cardinals backfield, so Love may take some time to fulfill his draft status.

Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Expected to make NFL debut Sunday
Jeremiyah 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 Arizona 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.

Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Questionable for Week 1
Jeremiyah 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 Arizona 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.

Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Expected to play Sunday
Jeremiyah 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.

Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Stays limited at practice
Jeremiyah Love (ankle) remained a limited practice participant Thursday, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.Love has been tending to a high-ankle sprain since preseason Week 1, and while he displayed small signs of progress in recent weeks, he finally has been able to log back-to-back capped sessions to begin prep for the regular-season opener. Friday's injury report will reveal his chances to suit up for Sunday's game at the Chargers, with the range of possibilities going from full clearance to getting ruled out. More than likely, the Arizona Cardinals will list Love as questionable for Week 1 action. If Love is inhibited or sidelined Sunday, Tyler Allgeier would be in line to lead Arizona's backfield, with Bam Knight on hand for most of the remaining RB reps.

Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Limited at Wednesday's practice
Jeremiyah 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 Arizona 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.

Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Set to practice Wednesday
Coach Mike LaFleur said Jeremiyah Love (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Darren Urban of the Arizona 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.

Cardinals' Jeremiyah Love: Listed second on unofficial depth chart
Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was listed as the No. 2 running back behind Tyler Allgeier on the Arizona Cardinals' unofficial depth chart released prior to Sunday's season opener versus the Chargers, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.The third overall pick in this April's draft, Love will eventually settle in as the unquestioned No. 1 option in the backfield, but he could be eased into action while he works his way back from the high-ankle sprain he sustained Aug. 13. Head coach Mike LaFleur said Monday that he's optimistic Love will be available Sunday, but even if the rookie manages to practice without limitations by the end of the week, he seems likely to share the load with Allgeier until he's fully up to speed.
