The New England Patriots bolstered their secondary on Tuesday, signing free agent safety Jabrill Peppers to a reported one-year contract. A former first-round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns, who spent the last three seasons with the New York Giants, Peppers offers an intriguing skillset but he does not come without questions.
The biggest of which is his medical status: the 26-year-old tore his ACL last October, and is still recovering from the injury. While more significant than most others, the ailment still is only one of many on Peppers’ career résumé.
