Report: Patrick Peterson faces six-game suspension for PED violation

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson is being suspended the first six games of the 2019 season for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy, league sources told ESPN on Thursday.

Details of what the former LSU All-American did, and when he did it, remain confidential, as per the NFL’s PED policy. But the eight-time Pro Bowl selection dropped his appeal, and the suspension is expected to be officially handed down at some point in the next week, a source told ESPN.

Peterson will be eligible to return before the Cardinals play in New Orleans against the Saints on Oct. 27.
