Coach Mike LaFleur said the rookie running back's issue on Sunday against the Cowboys was a fresh injury to a different part of the ankle.
Jeremiyah Love's comeback didn't last long. The Cardinals rookie running back was back in the lineup Sunday against the Cowboys, but his return ended early when he suffered what coach Mike LaFleur described as a new injury to his ankle.
LaFleur was careful to clarify that this was not a continuation of whatever had kept Love out before, but damage to a "new portion" of the ankle. That distinction matters for how the team and medical staff will handle his recovery, though no further details on severity or timeline were given.
For a rookie trying to establish himself in Arizona's backfield, the setback is frustrating timing. He had just gotten back onto the field after missing time, only to be sidelined again in the same game. The Cardinals got the win over the Cowboys, but Love's health remains the lingering question coming out of it.
