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. 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 after Gunner Olszewski, New England's main 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. 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 this season with the Giants.

Peppers (ankle) is also dealing with a knee injury, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. 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 had nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 38-11 loss to the Rams. 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.

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