Detroit Lions won't have to face Cardinals star Patrick Peterson in opener

Lions DL Da'Shawn Hand has been cooking since he was a youngster, and made and sold burgers at Alabama for a bit. Filmed at Ford Field, May 15, 2019.

When the Detroit Lions open the 2019 season on the second Sunday in September, they'll be doing so against a rookie quarterback and a team that won't have its best defensive player.

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson has been suspended for the first six games of the regular season, according to multiple reports, meaning the eight-time Pro Bowler will miss a game against the Lions on Sept.
