Peppers recorded nine tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 25-24 loss versus the Colts. Peppers returned from an eight-game absence in Week 13 and picked up right where he left off, playing all 58 of New England's defensive snaps and tallying a season-high tackle total. He'll be on the IDP radar for the fantasy playoffs following the Patriots' bye in Week 14.

Peppers (knee) is active for Sunday's game against Indianapolis. Peppers returned to practice Wednesday after being removed from the commissioner's exempt list Monday. He was limited in practice all week due to a knee injury, but he will play Sunday in his first game since Week 4 against the 49ers. Peppers is expected to reclaim his starting spot at free safety while Jaylinn Hawkins serves in a reserve role.

Peppers (knee) is questionable to play against the Colts on Sunday. Peppers was removed from the commissioner's exempt list Monday, and he's been limited in practice all week due to a knee injury. His status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Patriots release their inactives list approximately 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. In the four games prior to his suspension, Peppers logged 23 tackles (11 solo) and two pass defenses (including one interception).

Peppers (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Peppers returned to practice Wednesday after being removed from the commissioner's exempt list Monday, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury despite not playing in the Patriots' last eight games. His participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can return for Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

Coach Jerod Mayo said Tuesday that he anticipates Peppers will practice during the week after being removed from the commissioner's exempt list, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports. The issue that led to Peppers' arrest and placement on the commissioner's exempt list back in October is still the subject of a league inquiry, but it looks like he'll have the okay to practice ahead of Week 13. Whether he'll play versus the Colts is still up in the air.
