The Facts: According to Scout.com's Adam Caplan, Patrick has been suspended four games by the NFL for violating the league's policy on banned substances. The substance, Aderol, acts like a stimulant and is usually used by college students to help stay awake.
Diehards Line:Caplan further reported that Patrick will be able to still practice and play during the preseason, but will miss the first four regular season games. He's eligible to return to play for the team's Week 6 game at the Seattle Seahawks. Arizona has a bye in Week 4. The Cardinals haven't made extensive use of their tight ends as receiving targets for some time, so the loss won't have a major impact on Fantasy owners.
