In advance of their Monday Night Football matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs, the New York Giants placed safety Jabrill Peppers on injured reserve on Tuesday — ending his season. Peppers, who was also serving the Giants as the team’s punt returner, ruptured his ACL and suffered a high-ankle sprain during the team’s 25-3 win over the Carolina Panthers.
Ed Valentine of our sister site, Big Blue View, recently wrote about the impact of losing Peppers ahead of Monday night’s game.
VALENTINE: Peppers had not been playing as much this season as he had in his previous two seasons with the Giants.
