Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love is dealing with a high ankle sprain and is unlikely to play again this preseason. Love suffered the injury during the Cardinals’ 27-14 preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders, a game in which he logged 23 snaps. Head coach Mike LaFleur did not offer a long-term prognosis, and the team is hopeful Love can be ready for the Week 1 trip to face the Chargers, with the opener still nearly four weeks away. The caution is that even a Grade 1 high ankle sprain frequently costs three to four weeks, which puts his availability in genuine doubt. For DFS purposes, high ankle sprains linger and rookies rarely hit the ground running coming off one — discount Love in early-season lineups and track who absorbs the vacated snaps in the Arizona backfield.
