Patriots player stripped of captain’s ‘C’ patch after suspension

Jabrill Peppers is back on the field for the New England Patriots. But it doesn’t appear that he’ll be doing so as a captain.

The veteran safety was active for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, his first on-field appearance since being activated from the Commissioner’s Exempt list.

But there was something missing from Peppers' jersey: The “C” patch designating him as a captain. Other team captains -- such as Hunter Henry, Kyle Dugger Deatrich Wise, Jacoby Brissett and Joe Cardona -- had their patches on as they normally would.
