The Arizona Cardinals will see rookie running back Jeremiyah Love return from a two-game injury absence on Sunday when the team faces the Dallas Cowboys on the road in Week 8. Cardinals first-year head coach Mike LaFleur also said Friday that Arizona will have No. 1 wide receiver Michael Wilson on the field versus the Cowboys after the 26-year-old pass-catcher had been limited in practice this week due to a rib injury. The Cardinals selected Love as the third overall pick during the 2026 NFL Draft and the 21-year-old has posted team highs in rushing attempts (67) and yards (245), despite missing the last two contests with an ankle injury.
Love scored his only rushing touchdown of the season in Week 1 during Arizona's 26-14 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he's added 11 receptions for 36 yards and one score through the air in his five games as well. His worst game came in the team's Week 5 blowout loss versus the Detroit Lions, when he posted just 22 yards on 12 carries and failed to catch his lone target. Cardinals offseason signing Tyler Allgeier has carried the load during Love's absence but struggled to the tune of 57 scoreless yards on 26 attempts combined across Weeks 6 and 7.
Wilson is clearly Arizona's top wideout, as he ranks second on the team -- only trailing Pro Bowl tight end Trey McBride -- in targets (66), receptions (37) and receiving yards (375) during the 2026 campaign. Wilson had a breakout third NFL season in 2025, finishing with career highs in targets (126), receptions (78), receiving yards (1,006) and receiving touchdowns (seven), all of which were second on the Cardinals behind only McBride.
