Peppers (knee) is practicing Monday, indicating that he has been removed from the active/PUP list, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peppers is recovering from ACL surgery, so taking the filed in practice is a major step in the right direction for the safety. He should provide depth in New England's secondary, but Peppers is unlikely to unseat starters Kyle Dugger or Devin McCourty.

Peppers (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Patriots on Thursday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peppers will have to be activated off this injury list before he is allowed to practice in New England's upcoming training camp. The dynamic defensive back played only six games in 2021 before suffering a season-ending torn ACL in October. Peppers was a limited participant in the Patriots' voluntary OTAs in May, and he may need more time to fully recover before competing for a safety spot behind starters Kyle Dugger and Devin McCourty.

Peppers (knee) remains limited at mandatory minicamp, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The safety is still working his way back from the torn ACL he suffered in October, participating in a limited capacity at practice Wednesday. Peppers has said in the past that he will be ready to go by training camp, giving him multiple more weeks to prepare before camp in late July. The safety signed a one-year deal with the Patriots in March and will operate with Kyle Dugger and Devin McCourty in the secondary this year.

Peppers is not quite practicing at full strength as he continues to recover from a torn ACL, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peppers said in April that he expected to be ready to go by the start of training camp, which would make his recovery from the injury he suffered in October of 2021 a brisk one. There's nothing to suggest Peppers has been knocked off track in the rehab process, so he should be able to contribute for New England in the defensive backfield and on special teams by Week 1.

Peppers said he has not had any setbacks in his recovery from a torn ACL and is expected to be ready by the start of training camp, Nicole Yang of the Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peppers, who suffered a ruptured ACL in his right knee last October, will be nine months out from his initial injury by the start of training camp starting at the end of July which is the earliest typical return date for ACL injuries of this nature. Pepper signed with New England on March 29 and will reunite with former Giants head coach Joe Judge who is now an offensive assistant with New England. The Patriots already have a deep core of safeties, though Peppers could contribute immediately as the primary punt returner for his new squad after Gunner Olszewski, New England's primary punt return man last season, signed with Pittsburgh in March.

Peppers (knee) has agreed to a one-year deal with the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The report notes Peppers, who tore his right ACL last October, is expected to be ready for the start of training camp. The 2017 first-rounder will add depth and versatility to a New England safety corps that also features Devin McCourty, Adrian Phillips and Kyle Dugger. Prior to suffering his injury, Peppers logged 29 tackles in six games with the Giants.

Peppers (ankle/knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday after suffering a ruptured ACL in his right knee, ending his season, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old suffered the knee injury in Sunday's victory over the Panthers and also sustained a right ankle sprain in the contest. With his season meeting an abrupt end, Peppers will finish 2021 with 30 tackles, a sack and a pass deflection in six games. Julian Love will take over and handle the bulk of the snaps at strong safety.

Peppers (ankle) is also dealing with a knee injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Peppers exited Sunday's win over the Panthers with an ankle injury, but he actually grabbed his knee when he got hurt, and the Giants confirmed Monday that the safety is battling injuries in both places. Peppers' status for New York's Week 8 trip to Kansas City is murky at the moment, and he'll likely have his practice reps capped in some capacity this week.

Peppers (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday against the Panthers, according to Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site.
EDGE Analysis
It's unclear when Peppers suffered the injury, but the fact that his return is being listed as uncertain is not a promising sign. Peppers entered this game with 25 tackles (15 solo) and one pass defended across five games.

Peppers had nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 38-11 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Peppers missed Week 5 with a hamstring injury but returned to action in Week 6 and played 80 percent of the defensive snaps. The 26-year-old set a season-high for tackles in the contest and has yet to produce consistently enough this year to be a reliable IDP option.
