Peppers (quadriceps) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Peppers missed the Steelers' last two games due to a quadriceps injury, but his ability to practice in full Wednesday indicates that he'll be available for Sunday's AFC North clash against the Bengals. Peppers' return gives the Steelers another contributor on special teams and added depth at safety behind Kyle Dugger and Jalen Ramsey.

Peppers (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports. Peppers was unable to practice all week and will miss a second consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury, and his next opportunity to play is Week 11 against Cincinnati on Sunday, Nov. 16. Chuck Clark and Juan Thornhill will serve as the Steelers' backup safeties behind Kyle Dugger and Jalen Ramsey for Sunday's contest.

Peppers (quadriceps) did not practice Wednesday, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.comreports. Peppers was held out of Sunday's win over the Colts after suffering the quad injury during practice. It's concerning that he's still sidelined, but he'll still have two days to increase his participation and have a chance to suit up in Week 10 against the Chargers.

Peppers (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com reports. Peppers suffered a quad injury during the week and was limited in practice Thursday before being unable to practice at all Friday. The Steelers' secondary will be missing several players, as DeShon Elliott (knee) landed on injured reserve earlier in the week, while Chuck Clark (illness) is questionable.

Peppers and the Steelers agreed to a contract Tuesday, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report. After he was surprisingly released by the Patriots at the conclusion of the preseason, Peppers remained unsigned for Week 1 but has now found a new home in Pittsburgh. Assuming he can get caught up with the Steelers' defensive playbook quickly, Peppers could be in line for a prominent role in the secondary in Sunday's game against the Seahawks after Pittsburgh lost starting safety DeShon Elliott (knee) to an injury in the season-opening win over the Jets. With New England last season, Peppers tallied 40 tackles, one interception and one forced fumble in six appearances.
