Patrick Peterson says return to Arizona with Vikings is 'just another game on the schedule'

Patrick Peterson will be in State Farm Stadium on Sunday for his 11th straight Cardinals home opener. He will be on the visitor's sideline for the first time, after Arizona parted with the eight-time Pro Bowler in a manner that stung Peterson this offseason.

He spared few words on his "All Things Covered" podcast when talking about his departure from Arizona this summer, saying he "lost all respect" for Cardinals general manager Steve Keim, who (according to Peterson) said he wanted to bring the veteran back before going silent on him during free agency.

Now that he's headed back to Arizona to face his former team, he said he's put whatever feelings he has about his Cardinals departure off to the side.
