Patriots' Jabrill Peppers Out for Key Game Against Dolphins

The New England Patriots face a depleted defense as they prepare for their AFC East matchup without crucial players.

Jabrill Peppers, a starting safety for the Patriots, has been ruled out for the game against the Dolphins due to a shoulder injury.
Kyle Dugger, another key safety, is listed as questionable after not practicing all week because of an ankle injury.
The Patriots' defense is further weakened by the absence of linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley and defensive tackle Christian Barmore.
Kendrick Bourne is set to make his season debut after recovering from a torn ACL, potentially boosting the Patriots' offense.
The Patriots have also made roster adjustments, including signing defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy and elevating players from the practice squad.
