Peppers (hamstring) wasn't listed on the injury report Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Peppers will be active for Week 6 after missing Week 5 with a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old safety will play a key role in trying to slow down the Rams' high-powered offense Sunday.

Peppers (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Peppers wasn't able to suit up versus the Cowboys in Week 5, but it appears that he's making progress in his recovery. Given the amount of injuries New York is dealing with on the offensive side of the ball, getting a defensive leader like Peppers back in action would be a much-needed boon heading into Sunday's game against the Rams.

Peppers (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Giants have elected to shut down the 26-year-old, despite reports of him wanting to play in Week 5. Kadarius Toney could see some time at punt returner against the Cowboys with Peppers sidelined, and Julian Love and Nate Ebner will likely get some extended snaps in the secondary.

Peppers (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Peppers picked up a hamstring injury during Sunday's win over the Saints, but he said after the game that he intended to play Week 5. If the 26-year-old safety doesn't practice in at least some capacity Thursday, his status for the divisional matchup Sunday will be in question.

Peppers (hamstring) said after Sunday's 27-21 win over the Saints that he intends to suit up Week 5, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Peppers said he'll be available for the Week 5 divisional matchup against the Cowboys, but his statement should be taken with a grain of salt until the Giants release more details about his hamstring injury. Julian Love would likely stand to handle an increased defensive workload if Peppers ended up missing time.

Peppers won't return to Sunday's game against the Saints due to a hamstring injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Peppers didn't appear in the second half of Sunday's Week 4 matchup, and he'll be unable to return due to his injury. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for next week's game against the Cowboys.

Peppers recorded eight tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 17-14 loss to the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Peppers is still handling far fewer snaps than both Logan Ryan and Xavier McKinney, but he managed to put together respectable numbers anyway. It'll be tough to rely on Peppers on a weekly basis until his snap count rises. He maintains plenty of upside once he gets his shot. After all, Peppers recorded 91 tackles, 11 pass breakups and 2.5 sacks in 2020.

Peppers, one of last year's better IDP defensive backs, lost snaps to second-year man Xavier McKinney Sunday against the Broncos.

EDGE Analysis

McKinney (63 snaps) was an early second-round pick last year, so it's likely he'll continue to cut into Peppers' (30 snaps) playing time. Unless that changes, Peppers has no chance to repeat his tackle numbers from last year.

Peppers notched 91 tackles (57 solo), 2.5 sacks, 11 defended passes and one interception across 15 games with the Giants in 2020.

EDGE Analysis

Peppers also had one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. He set new career-best marks in terms of both stops and passes defensed. The 25-year-old is slated to play out the final year of his rookie deal under a $6.8 million contract in 2021, during which time he'll handle his usual starting role at strong safety. Peppers' tackle numbers provide him with some consistency in IDP formats, but his lack of sacks caps his fantasy upside.

Peppers (ankle) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Peppers was a limited participant in practice throughout the week, but he'll suit up for the Giants' season finale with Julian Love providing depth at strong safety.
