Julius Peppers (shoulder) has passed his physical and is now off the PUP list. Plan is to have him participate in some walkthroughs as the Panthers continue to bring him back slowly. Season opener still five weeks away.
— Bill Voth (@PanthersBill) August 5, 2018The 38 year old underwent shoulder surgery during the offseason, and needed a little more time to recuperate from the surgery. There really wasn’t any doubt that Peppers would be back, but the fact that he’s practicing again with about 5 weeks left until the regular season is a very good sign.
