The 2022-2023 football season hasn’t started but the drama is already heating up in the National Football League. DeAndre Hopkins had a wild 2021 chapter in his career where he was plagued with injuries. From his hamstring then a torn MCL in week 14 caused him to miss the remainder of the year. Now according to a new report from Si.com Hopkins has been popped for violating the NFL’s performance enhancing drug policy. The policy is just as it sounds and seemingly covers a vast majority of substances mainly those like steroids. The punishment for violating the policy has landed Hopkins a six-game suspension after missing a heft chunk of last year. Very few details have been released surrounding the suspension most importantly many are curious what exactly he took and also when did he fail the test as it’s three months into the postseason. The loss of Hopkins could be a serious roadblock for the Cardinals in their quest for a Super Bowl run in the 2022-2023 season. Hopefully, this is just a minor setback for Hopkins and he can return in Week 7 looking brand new.
