Coach Mike LaFleur said Monday that Love is progressing in his recovery from a high-ankle sprain but will remain sidelined this week, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Love emerged from preseason Week 1 with an ankle injury that eventually was revealed to be severe enough to require a multi-week absence. While LaFleur relayed last Thursday that Love won't need surgery, the rookie third overall pick won't play again during exhibition season, meaning his next chance for game action is Sunday, Sept. 13 at the Chargers. If Love isn't able to go in the season opener, Tyler Allgeier likely will be Arizona's lead runner in that contest.
