Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Jeremiyah Love will not take the field in the team’s preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers on Thursday in the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio.
Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur confirmed the status for Love, the No. 3 overall pick of the 2026 NFL Draft. With Love on the sideline, the Cardinals are expected to feature offseason acquisition Tyler Allgeier, among others.
Love was a Heisman Trophy finalist last season at Notre Dame, finishing third behind Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza and Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia. He won the Doak Walker Award as the top running back in college football.
Love racked up 199 carries for 1,372 yards and 18 touchdowns, as well as 27 receptions for 280 yards and three touchdowns. He averaged 6.9 yards per carry and his 21 total touchdowns broke the Fighting Irish’s single-season record set by Jerome Bettis (20) in 1991.
