On track to play Week 11
Peppers (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Peppers missed the Steelers' last two games due to a quadriceps injury, but his ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he'll be available for Sunday's AFC North clash against the Bengals. Peppers' return gives the Steelers another contributor on special teams and added depth at safety behind Kyle Dugger and Jalen Ramsey.

Strikes deal with Pittsburgh
Peppers and the Steelers agreed to a contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.
Analysis: After he was surprisingly released by the Patriots at the conclusion of the preseason, Peppers remained unsigned for Week 1 but has now found a new home in Pittsburgh. Assuming he can get caught up with the Steelers' defensive playbook quickly, Peppers could be in line for a prominent role in the secondary in Sunday's game against the Seahawks after Pittsburgh lost starting safety DeShon Elliott (knee) to an injury in the season-opening win over the Jets.

Let go by New England
The Patriots released Peppers on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Peppers originally made the Patriots' 53-man roster and was expected to be a part of the team's safety rotation alongside Jaylinn Hawkins and rookie fourth-rounder Craig Woodson. However, the Patriots have elected to move on from the veteran safety, who should draw plenty of interest from teams looking to bolster depth in the secondary. Peppers played in 38 regular-season games (26 starts) for the Patriots over the past three years, posting 178 tackles (107 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three…read more

Getting in reps at OTAs
Peppers (hamstring) is participating during OTAs, Eric J. Adler of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: 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.

Lands on IR due to hamstring injury
The Patriots placed Peppers (hamstring) on injured reserve Saturday, Chris Mason of The Springfield Republican reports.
Analysis: 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.

Questionable to play Bolts
Peppers (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Chargers after logging a limited practice Thursday.
Analysis: A hamstring injury prevented Peppers from playing against the Bills in Week 16. The injury limited him in practice all week, so his availability for Saturday's game won't likely be known until the Patriots announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. kickoff.

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. The Patriots and the NFL will likely wait for more details to emerge and allow the legal process to play out before the 29-year-old safety is subject to discipline.

Analysis: Peppers injured his shoulder in Week 4 against the 49ers.

Peppers (knee) is practicing Monday, indicating that he has been removed from the active/PUP list, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
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.

Put on PUP list
Peppers (knee) was placed on the active/PUP list by the Patriots on Thursday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Still limited at minicamp
Peppers (knee) remains limited at mandatory minicamp, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
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.

Limited in OTAs
Peppers is not practicing at full speed as he continues to recover from a torn ACL, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
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.

ACL recovery is on track
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.
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 in late July, which is on the low end for recoveries from 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 assistant with New England. The Patriots already have a deep core of safeties, but Peppers could contribute immediately as the primary punt returner…read more

Inks deal with Patriots
Peppers (knee) has agreed to a one-year deal with the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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.

Added to IR, done for 2021
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.
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.

Also has knee injury
Peppers (ankle) is also dealing with a knee injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
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.

Questionable to return
Peppers (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday against the Panthers, according to Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site.
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.

Tallies nine tackles
Peppers had nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 38-11 loss to the Rams.
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.

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

Ruled out for Week 5
Peppers (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
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.
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.

Wants to play Week 5
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.
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.

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

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

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

Limited to start week
Peppers (ankle) was limited in practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Peppers has been a key cog in New York's defense with 22 tackles over the past three weeks. Considering the Giants can still make the playoffs with a win over Dallas on Sunday coupled with a Washington loss to Philadelphia, the starting strong safety will likely do everything in his power to be out there on game day.

Notches seven tackles
Peppers made seven tackles (six solo) and a half sack in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Eagles.

Taken off injury report
Peppers (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against Washington, Art Stapleton of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Peppers played through his ankle injury last week, and he'll do so again in Week 6. He has suited up in four of the Giants' first five games and has 15 tackles, but the safety has been supplanted on punt return duties by Golden Tate after serving as the punt returner for the first two weeks, perhaps in an effort to keep Peppers healthy.

Peppers (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Dan Salmone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Peppers couldn't suit up for New York's loss to the Rams in Week 4, but after having resumed practicing on a limited basis, it looks like he has a fair shot to play in Dallas.

Peppers (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
Analysis: Julian Love (knee) is listed as questionable but is expected to play, so the Giants should at least have one of their two starting safeties available. Peppers injured his ankle after playing only nine defensive snaps in last week's loss to the 49ers, leaving Love and Logan Ryan as the safety duo. Peppers also handles punt returns, but the Giants didn't need a replacement last week because the Niners finished every drive with a touchdown or field-goal attempt.

Peppers (ankle) did not participate during Thursday's practice session, Dan Salomone of Giants.com reports.
Analysis: There was promising news earlier in the week when Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reported that Peppers would not require surgery after suffering an in-game injury against the 49ers. His status for a Week 4 road trip to Los Angeles seems cloudy at the moment, however, as he's logged consecutive DNPs between Wednesday and Thursday. If Peppers is unable to play in a matchup against the Rams' top-10 pass offense, 31-year-old Nate Ebner would likely see an increase in usage.

Peppers' (ankle) injury won't require surgery, and he could return as soon as Sunday's game against the Rams depending on how his ankle responds in practice this week, Jordan Raanan of ESPN NFL Nation reports.
Analysis: Peppers had tests done on his low-ankle sprain Monday, and the results were encouraging. The play-making safety should be considered questionable for Sunday's trip to Los Angeles at this time, though we should get a better idea of his status based on Peppers' practice participation throughout the week.

Sprains ankle Sunday
Peppers suffered a low-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the 49ers and will have further tests to establish a timeline for his return, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's encouraging that Peppers avoided the dreaded high-ankle sprain, but he still could miss a game or two depending on what the tests reveal. The Michigan product has looked good as a punt returner this season, and he's recorded 10 tackles as a safety. If he's forced to miss any time, Golden Tate will likely return punts while Nate Ebner logs more snaps at safety.

Big Blue picks up fifth-year option
The Giants exercised Peppers' (back) fifth-year option for 2021 Wednesday.
Analysis: The 24-year-old missed the final five games of the season after suffering a transverse process fracture in his back, but he still almost set career highs in tackles (76) and pass breakups (five) to go along with three forced fumbles. Peppers was acquired from the Browns in March 2019 and is New York's best playmaker in the secondary, so it was fully expected that the team would pick up his option.

Hits injured reserve
Peppers (back) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The 24-year-old's season ultimately ends just shy of him hitting a number of career highs, as the safety was easily on pace to surpass his 2018 tackle and interception totals despite playing in just 11 games. A key member of the team's underwhelming defense, expect Peppers to be a mainstay as the Giants continue to add and develop their young secondary.

Analysis: Peppers played all 65 defensive snaps as he normally does.
