Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Arizona Cardinals will be without cornerback Patrick Peterson for the first six games of the season. The NFL has reportedly suspended him for most of the first half of the 2019 regular season due to the use of performance-enhancing drugs.
This is not a good look for Peterson’s camp. Rumors have been swirling around the perennial All-Pro about his potential departure from the team, as he’s reportedly not happy with the moves made by the team. His suspension not only keeps their defensive leader off the field, it also means his trade value has decreased.
