The Cardinals’ fanbase was stunned shortly after what many considered to be an overall successful draft by Arizona with news following a few days afterwards that their star receiver had tested positive for an NFL banned steroid substance and would not appeal.
Thus, the team would be without WR DeAndre Hopkins for the first 6 games of the 2022 NFL season.
Of course, this team made moves to secure Zach Ertz and AJ Green in the offseason and drafted TE Trey McBride as well as trading pick 23 overall for Hollywood Brown, but the departure still stings, and has led to some questions:
What might the first 6 games without Hopkins look like for Arizona to get by in the meantime?
