What happened: Jeremiyah Love, the Cardinals' No. 3 overall pick, is dealing with a high ankle sprain that makes it unlikely he plays again this preseason. Arizona is instead targeting a return in time for the Sept. 13 regular-season opener against the Chargers.

Why it matters: Preseason reps carry zero standings value, and a high ankle sprain is the kind of injury that lingers if it's aggravated early. Holding out a rookie the franchise just spent a top-3 pick on is the obvious trade-off when the alternative is risking his availability for Week 1.
