Just a day after being removed from the commissioner’s exempt list, Jabrill Peppers took part in practice with the Patriots.

FOXBORO — Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was back at practice Tuesday after being removed from the NFL’s commissioner’s exempt list a day earlier. Head coach Jerod Mayo said Tuesday that Peppers, who pleaded not guilty on assault, strangulation and drug charges in October, will play in a game when he’s “ready to go.”

The Patriots' latest debacle in Miami didn't just erase a month of progress - it exposed how far this franchise has fallen since Bill Belichick's departure.
