The Arizona Cardinals are expected to have Jeremiyah Love back in the lineup Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, providing a potential boost to their offense after the young running back missed the last two games.

According to Darren Urban, LaFleur confirmed that Love will play this week.

Love has been dealing with an ankle injury that has bothered him throughout the season. While his return is encouraging, Arizona still needs to see its future star get fully healthy and stay on the field. The lingering issue raises questions about whether he can finally put the injury behind him for the rest of the season.

Sunday's matchup against Dallas could give Love an opportunity to find his rhythm again, particularly if his ankle is feeling better. The Cardinals would benefit from getting him more involved as they look to establish consistency in the backfield.

Fantasy managers will also be watching closely. Many invested an early draft pick in Love expecting him to develop into a difference-maker, and the missed games have made that investment harder to justify. A productive performance against Dallas could offer some reassurance, but his health remains the biggest concern.

Love's availability is a positive development for Arizona, but getting him back on the field is only the first step. The Cardinals need their young running back healthy enough to show what he can do without another injury setback derailing his season.

For fantasy owners, it may be too early to put him back into your lineup, unless you need him out there. With Bam Knight and Tyler Allgeier, Love may not get a ton of carries. Allgeier was limited with a toe injury this week, however.
