Maybe the Cardinals can be the team to win with a backup this week?

Who knows.

All we know is that a nagging ankle injury six weeks into the season will now officially start costing Jeremiyah Love regular season games.

Adam Schefter reported on Friday that Love will miss this weeks matchup with the Los Angeles Rams and Ian Rapoport followed it up.

The #AZCardinals won't have RB Jeremiyah Love, who is out for Week 6. He'll rest his ailing ankle with hopes of healing it for the long-term.

In the preseason Love sustained an ankle injury that seemed destined to be an issue throughout the season if not taken seriously and cautiously.

Instead, the team made sure he was ready for week one and Love just never seemed right. Now, much of that has to do with an offense that at best is middling, a non-existent run game, etc, and then Love injured the other ankle in the matchup with the New York Giants.

Now, he is missing some time, and it seems like this one is going to continue to linger, but how long? I know we don't want him to go on the IR, but is this an instance he should be placed on IR and let fully heal so maybe the final six games he looks good and gives you a little hype for next year? Or do you play the week-to-week situation?
