Patriots' Jabrill Peppers Returns to Practice After NFL Exempt List Removal

Peppers faces ongoing legal and league investigations following domestic violence and drug possession charges.

Jabrill Peppers, New England Patriots safety, was removed from the NFL's commissioner exempt list and is now eligible to practice and play.
Peppers was placed on the exempt list on October 9 after being arrested on charges including domestic violence and possession of cocaine.
The NFL's investigation into Peppers' conduct is ongoing and separate from his legal proceedings, with a trial scheduled for January 22, 2025.
Peppers has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and his legal team disputes the allegations, citing evidence they claim contradicts the accuser's story.
Patriots coach Jerod Mayo and owner Robert Kraft emphasized the seriousness of the allegations, stating the team will await the outcomes of both investigations before making further decisions.
