Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur, younger brother of Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur, confirmed Wednesday that rookie running back Jeremiyah Love, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, will not play Thursday night in the Hall Of Fame Game against the Carolina Panthers in Canton, Ohio. LaFleur simply does not want to risk his starting running back in an exhibition game. The coach did not indicate that Love is injured or that his status for future preseason games is in question. Love's NFL debut will come in the Cardinals' next preseason game against the Raiders on August 13.
