On Thursday some rather unexpected news hit for the Arizona Cardinals. Cornerback Patrick Peterson has been suspended six games for a PED violation. The suspension not only entails the aforementioned violation, but per Ian Rapoport, it also involves a masking agent. Rapoport pointed out it could have been a four-game suspension, but because of the masking agent, it’s six.
The Arizona Cardinals need help anywhere they can get. They had a decent draft but are still hurting for consistent playmakers on both sides of the ball. Given the age of Larry Fitzgerald, it could be argued that Peterson is the best player on that Arizona Cardinals squad.
