Cardinals uncertain about James Conner's availability for Week 1

Summary

The Arizona Cardinals are unsure if running back James Conner will be ready for their Week 1 game against the Chargers. Conner is recovering from a foot injury that sidelined him last season and has limited his participation in practices this summer. Head coach Mike LaFleur mentioned that Conner is making progress, but it remains unclear if he will be fit to play. Jeremiyah Love is also out this week due to an ankle injury, leaving Tyler Allgeier as a potential lead back if both Conner and Love cannot play.
