Love Is Out for Week 6. The Answer at Running Back Is Tavien Feaster.

The ankle held on as long as it could. Jeremiyah Love is ruled out for Week 6, which means the question I was tracking a day ago — whether the high-ankle sprain from August would linger into the season — has its answer, at least for now. He won't play.

What's left behind him is thin by any measure. The depth chart lists Tavien Feaster first, Tyler Allgeier second, Jerome Ford third — none of them with meaningful production logged this season. James Conner is on injured reserve. Trey Benson was gone before the season started. Corey Kiner is in New England. The position has been stripped to its studs since August, and Love was the one player the organization pointed to as the reason it would be okay.

The broader context hasn't changed: Arizona ran the ball at a fraction of what a functional backfield should produce last season, and the offseason moves were supposed to fix that by betting on Love. That bet is now sitting out a week, at minimum. Feaster gets the first crack at a job nobody else in this building was supposed to need.
