Jeremiyah Love is expected to play in the Arizona Cardinals' season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, multiple outlets reported. The rookie running back has been dealing with a high-ankle sprain since mid-August, per ESPN, but appears on track to make his regular-season debut.

Love's status had been in question as the Cardinals prepared for Week 1, with CBS Sports noting that questions remain about his workload despite the expectation that he'll take the field. Pro Football Talk reported that Love is "trending well" to play, while ESPN's source indicated he is "expected to play" against the Chargers.
