What happened: Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love is dealing with a high ankle sprain, per sources. The injury makes it unlikely Love plays again this preseason.

Why it matters: The Cardinals are hoping Love can return in time for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Chargers. It's the latest setback for the rookie, who was already sidelined earlier this month with a sore ankle amid competition for reps in the Cardinals' backfield.

What to watch: Watch for Love's practice status as the Cardinals approach their Sept. 13 opener against the Chargers.
