Jeremiyah Love, RB (ARI)

Warming up before practice

Love (ankle) is warming up ahead of Thursday's practice, Dani Sureck of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Love is set to practice in some capacity Thursday after being listed as a limited participant Wednesday. The rookie third overall pick is working his way back from a high-ankle sprain sustained exactly one month before Sunday's regular-season opener against the Chargers. Once cleared for game action, Love is expected to operate in a split backfield with Tyler Allgeier.
