Jerraud Powers: Patrick Peterson 'back to his old self' after taking care of diabetes

The veteran cornerback recalls seeing Peterson struggle with his health.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson struggled last season with inconsistent play, injuries and also diabetes, as he revealed in the offseason. Teammate Jerraud Powers, a fellow cornerback, explained on Arizona Sports 98.7 just how rough the health situation was and how Peterson appears to be set for a bounceback season in 2015.

Powers explained the problem "was tough on (Peterson)" early on because no one knew what the problem was.

"Just to see him kind of struggle -- I'm not talking about his play, I'm talking about just getting through the day, basically -- just to see him at practice sweating.
