Jabrill Peppers returns to practice
Peppers was arrested October 5 following an altercation. A woman told police that Peppers hit her, choked her and pushed her down the stairs.
He was charged with assault and battery on an intimate partner, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation, and possession of a Class B drug.
The veteran safety pleaded not guilty and his attorney has said there is evidence that "completely contradicts" the alleged victim's story.
