What happened: Arizona running back Jeremiyah Love will miss a second consecutive game with an ankle injury after sitting out the Week 6 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The Cardinals also ruled out safety Andrew Wiggins on Friday due to an ankle issue. Rookie quarterback Carson Beck is listed as questionable with back spasms after logging a limited practice on Wednesday and sitting out Thursday's session.

Why it matters: Sitting at 2-4 and 13th in the conference standings after an 18-16 road victory over the 2-4 Rams on Oct. 18, Arizona now hosts a 4-2 Broncos squad riding a two-game winning streak as the No. 5 seed. Playing without the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft leaves the Cardinals shorthanded in the backfield while their 65th overall rookie quarterback manages a midweek back issue.

By the numbers: Across five games in the 2026 regular season, Love has totaled 245 rushing yards and one touchdown at 3.7 yards per carry, while adding 11 receptions for 36 yards and one receiving score.

What to watch: Arizona hosts Denver on Sunday for Week 7, with pregame inactives determining whether Beck is cleared to play through his questionable designation.
