Patriots safety and captain Jabrill Peppers will face a jury in January after allegedly assaulting a woman in October, but he might be back on the field as early as this weekend.
Peppers, who last appeared in late September for the Patriots’ Week 4 game against the 49ers, was arrested Oct. 5 and charged with domestic assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation, and possession of a Class B substance.
Peppers pleaded not guilty to all charges. His jury trial was scheduled last week to begin Jan. 22.
His lawyer, Marc Brofsky, declined to comment Monday afternoon.
