Cardinals' Fitzgerald battled emotions but found perspective following bout with COVID-19

You know you’re something special when country music star Blake Shelton compares you to one of his favorite snacks.

“Just read that @Larry Fitzgerald has been activated for this Sunday’s game!!” Shelton wrote Wednesday on his Twitter account. “I haven’t been this happy since I had my first bacon and mayonnaise sandwich. Let’s go @AZCardinals!!! Just in time!!!”

Fitzgerald has never had a bacon and mayonnaise sandwich, but he’s thrilled to be back with the Cardinals nonetheless after being activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list. He’s missed back-to-back games for the first time since 2014 when he suffered a sprained MCL in his knee, but this was something altogether different.
