Arizona Cardinals list Tyler Allgeier as starting running back for Week 1

The Arizona Cardinals released their first official depth chart for the upcoming Week 1 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The roster features Tyler Allgeier as the starting running back, placing Jeremiyah Love in the backup position. Love, who was a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft, spent the preseason and offseason in the second-string role. While the team plans to involve Allgeier as a lead back, the depth chart indicates that the Cardinals may implement a running back committee. Love’s exact status for the opening game remains uncertain, though he is expected to see action regardless of his current placement. The move underscores the team's commitment to using Allgeier alongside the younger rotation of offensive weapons, including Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Michael Wilson.
