Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love nursing high ankle sprain, team 'hopeful' will be ready for Week 1 Sun Aug 16, 07:28 PM
Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports that the Cardinals plan on giving Jeremiyah Love the week off after he suffered an ankle injury in the preseason opener. Fowler added that the team is "hopeful" he'll be ready for Week 1. Some have speculated that he suffered a high ankle sprain, but head coach Mike LaFleur refused to give more specific information about the injury.
| Footballguys view: We weren't worried about Love's status for Week 1 until now. Adam Schefter has reported that the injury is a high ankle sprain. Love is still such a high upside play in the third round that it shouldn't discourage you from taking him, but Tyler Allgeier is becoming more interesting as a bench stash while we bide our time waiting for Love to return to the field. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck (ribs) still has some discomfort in his ribs, but it isn't expected to be a long-term issue, according to head coach Mike LaFleur. 'He needs to heal a little more,' LaFleur said Sunday, Aug. 16.

Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB James Conner (foot) is still making progress in his recovery from a foot injury, but head coach Mike LaFluer said there is no timetable for when Conner will participate in team drills.
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals have a jam-packed backfield when everyone is healthy, so many have speculated that Conner could be available via trade for a team in need of a veteran presence at the running back position. Conner is currently behind Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier on the depth chart - and he's competing with Trey Benson for the no.3 spot. He suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 3 last year, and Conner has been steadily working his way back since then. |

Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) will be sidelined this week because of the ankle injury he suffered during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13, and will be reevaluated after the week is over, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
| Footballguys view: The team is going to evaluate after next week, and there's no telling if Love is going to be available for the team's third preseason game that week. The rookie has been flashing in camp and the preseason as the team's starter. If this ankle injury lingers, Tyler Allgeier could be more involved to begin the regular season. Stay tuned. |
Arizona Cardinals OG Chase Bisontis (knee) suffered a torn medial collateral ligament and will require surgery that could sideline him for the entire 2026 season.
Link to storyCardinals head coach Mike LaFleur told reporters on Friday, Aug. 14, that he has 'no concern' over QB Carson Beck's rib injury.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love rushed 11 times for 58 yards and caught three passes for 14 yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Love was as good as advertised, perhaps even better depending on your expectations. With the Cardinals offense also impressing, the chances of him delivering on his ADP near the 2/3 turn in 12-team leagues is going up. He did leave with a minor ankle issue, but head coach Mike LaFleur said Love is "fine" and that he could have returned to the game. This was an alarming amount of work for such a valuable player in the first preseason game, but the Cardinals believe that rookie running backs need more live reps in preseason to prepare them than they have been given in the past. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught both of his targets for 23 yards in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: The glass half empty take here is that Wilson gave way to Jalen Brooks for four snaps with the ones. The glass half full take is that Wilson still led the offense in catches and yards in that very small sample. With the Cardinals offense looking more game under Mike LaFleur, Wilson is becoming a more attractive pick around his 8th round ADP, especially in PPR leagues. |

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught a seven-yard touchdown against the Las Vegas Raiders during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Harrison led the wide receiver group in snaps, but ran the same number of routes as Michael Wilson and Kendrick Bourne. He was able to separate on a crossing route in the red zone and Jacoby Brissett stood in to deliver a laser into a crowd for the score. That should build Harrison's confidence. It will be difficult for Harrison to have a true breakout season in this crowded offense, but as long as Brissett starts, it could be productive enough for Harrison to deliver his ADP value - which is in the sixth round of most drafts. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed all five of his pass attempts for 44 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
| Footballguys view: Brissett looked comfortable in Mike LaFleur's offense and zinged a short touchdown to Marvin Harrison Jr. on a crossing route that showed LaFleur understands how to use his receivers. The offensive line might have taken a big blow when second round pick Chase Bisontis went down with a knee injury that LaFleur called "not good", but otherwise it was an encouraging night for Brissett and the Cardinals offense. |

Link to storyArizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck (rib) will miss the team's preseason game on Thursday, Aug. 13. QB Jacoby Brissett is expected to start the game.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett will play a series or two along with the other starters during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 14.
| Footballguys view: Brissett got his new contract around the start of camp, and he's set to start in Week 1. They may not win many games with Brissett as their starter, but the wide receivers do benefit from a veteran under center. Even though Brissett will begin the season as the starter, there's a chance they have an eye on the future and give Carson Beck a look late in the year. |

Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck completed 15 of his 19 passes for 188 yards and a touchdown during the Hall of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: Beck was the story of a surprisingly entertaining shootout to open the NFL preseason schedule. He was impressive enough that at least one Cardinals beat writer opined that the team needs to start Beck early in the season to see what they have him in before deciding what they will do at quarterback in 2027. This outcome was also a good sign for new head coach Mike LaFleur's offense and its ability to get wide receivers open. |
Arizona Cardinals DE Josh Sweat (knee) is currently on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list, but head coach Mike LaFleur said he believes Sweat will be ready for Week 1.

Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will not play in the Hall of Fame game, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck will start for the team in the Hall of Fame game on Thursday, Aug. 6.
| Footballguys view: In announcing that Beck will get the start against the Panthers, head coach Mike LaFleur did not lay out the plan for the rest of the game for the quarterback spot, but it seems unlikely that Jacoby Brissett or Gardner Minshew would get tabbed for any work with the third-round pick starting the game. Kedon Slovis is the fourth quarterback on the roster in Arizona and will likely see playing time after Beck's night in Canton comes to an end. |

Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier is listed as the starting running back on the team's first unofficial depth chart.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here as the Cardinals signed Allgeier to a two year, $12.25 million deal this offseason. Allgeier was a thorn in the side of Bijan Robinson fantasy teams during Robinson's rookie year after the Falcons took him in the top ten, and he is set to do that again to Jeremiyah Love, although Love is going a full round or more after Robinson - who had a late first round ADP - did in fantasy drafts when he was a rookie. If Love is going to hit this year, it's going to have to be with his passing game and big play contributions, because Allgeier isn't going away, and short yardage running is one of his strengths. |
Arizona Cardinals DL P.J. Mustipher (foot) will be placed on season-ending injured reserve, according to HC Mike LaFleur on Saturday, Aug. 1.

Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier has been 'has been getting the majority of the carries' with the starters through the first eight days of training camp, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals have been expected to do this even though they spent the #3 overall pick on Jeremiyah Love. It's going to be tough for Love to pay off at ADP unless he is the team's leading passcatcher, which would be a problem for Trey McBride among others. |
Arizona Cardinals CB Jaden Davis (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, July 31.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love and RB Tyler Allgeier shared snaps with the first-team offense during practice Sunday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: Allgeier got the first rep, and the two alternated after that. While Love getting first-team snaps isn't a surprise, it's interesting to see the day after OC Nathaniel Hackett answered a question about Love by saying, "I mean, he's definitely a rookie." James Conner and Trey Benson are also practicing, so these first-team reps matter. We'll continue to monitor. |
Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride said there are 'a lot' of things he is working to improve. 'I just want to keep getting better every day,' McBride said. 'And that's kind of my goal. And I'm going to keep trying to do that every year. And hopefully each year will exceed the previous.'
| Footballguys view: That will be tough. McBride, coming off a monstrous 315.9-point campaign, finished 2025 with 126 receptions, 1,239 yards, and 11 touchdowns. That's 105.1 points more than Atlanta's Kyle Pitts Sr., who was the next highest scorer at the position. McBride averaged 18.6 fantasy points per game. His league-high 15 top-12 fantasy weeks were six more than any other player at the position. Concerns? McBride's 11 touchdowns last year nearly doubled his combined total of six scores over his first three seasons. Still, his second-round price tag makes him a reasonable buy at cost. |
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (ankle, back) briefly exited practice on two occasions Sunday, July 26.
| Footballguys view: Harrison pulled himself out of practice twice. The first time, after sitting on the field for a few moments, he stood up and pointed toward his left ankle while talking to a trainer. The second time, he looked to be in pain, grimacing a few times as he stood on the sideline. He appeared to stretch out his back, standing, and did a cobra pose twice. We'll follow up as needed. While Harrison was out, wide receiver Simi Fehoko got reps with the first-team offense, potentially signifying his place in the receiving rotation. |

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett has reportedly agreed to terms on a new deal, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Sunday, July 26. Terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: This is the best outcome you could have hoped for if you are planning on drafting any Arizona Cardinals. Whether that is a good idea is another story. This will keep fourth round pick Carson Beck from getting extensive first team practice reps to make a case to start earlier than later, but most expect Beck to start eventually one way or the other, which could crater whatever value this offense could produce for fantasy football. |
