  Peppers (hamstring) is participating during OTAs, Eric J. Adler of the Patriots' official site reports. Peppers ended last season on New England's injured reserve list with a hamstring issue, but he seems to be back in good shape with offseason workouts now underway. The Patriots did add competition for snaps during the draft in the form of fourth-rounder Craig Woodson, but Peppers will likely start at safety next to Kyle Dugger (ankle) in 2025.

  Rotowire Jan 4, 2025

  The Patriots placed Peppers (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports. Peppers was already ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bills due to a foot injury, and his placement on injured reserve gave the Patriots space on the 53-man roster to sign corner Miles Battle from the practice squad. Peppers managed to play in only six regular-season games due to suspension and injuries, and he'll finish 2024 with 40 tackles (20 solo), two pass defenses (including one interception) and one forced fumble.

• Patriots' Jabrill Peppers: Placed on exempt list

  Rotowire Oct 9, 2024

As long as the safety remains on the list, he can't practice or attend games. In four appearances this season before he sat out this past Sunday's loss to the Dolphins with a shoulder injury, Peppers recorded 23 tackles and an interception.

• Patriots' Jabrill Peppers: Arrested on multiple charges

  Rotowire Oct 7, 2024

According to the police, Peppers was arrested after officers responded to a disturbance at a Braintree home stemming from an alleged altercation between two people. Peppers -- who was inactive for Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Dolphins due to a shoulder injury -- is scheduled to appear in court Monday following his arrest.

• Patriots' Jabrill Peppers: Won't play vs. Miami

  Rotowire Oct 5, 2024

  Peppers (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's divisional game against the Dolphins, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports. Peppers injured his shoulder in Week 4 against the 49ers. He was able to log back-to-back limited practice sessions to end the week, but it appears his shoulder injury is too severe enough for him to play Sunday. Peppers' next chance at suiting up will be against the Texans in Week 6. Dell Pettus and Jaylinn Hawkins could serve as the Patriots' starting safeties due to Peppers being ruled out and Kyle Dugger listed as questionable after missing practice all week due to an ankle injury.

• Patriots' Jabrill Peppers: Gets back on field

  Rotowire Oct 3, 2024

  Peppers (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Peppers logged a DNP on Wednesday, so it's a move in the right direction for him. The Michigan product dealt with a shoulder injury earlier in the season, but he was able to play through it, which is the likeliest scenario here. However, it'll be worth monitoring his status closer to kickoff Sunday against the Dolphins.

• Patriots' Jabrill Peppers: Iffy for Week 3

  Rotowire Sep 18, 2024

  Peppers (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jets. Peppers has been limited this week with the injury, and it looks like he'll be a true game-time decision for the divisional matchup. It's still not clear when the veteran safety suffered the injury, since he was able to play 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 2 against the Seahawks. If he's ultimately unable to play, Dell Pettus and Jaylinn Hawkins may be candidates to handle the workload at free safety.

Peppers missed the Patriots' last two games with this hamstring issue, but after a week of limited practice sessions, he's got a shot at returning in Week 18.
