FOXBOROUGH — The NFL on Wednesday placed safety and captain Jabrill Peppers on the Commissioner’s Exempt list, three days after he was arrested and charged with assault and strangulation.
Peppers may not practice or attend games while on the list. He did not play in last Sunday’s game against Miami while also dealing with a shoulder injury.
Peppers appeared in Quincy District Court on Monday. A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 22, though Peppers’s appearance has been waived.
Peppers was arrested early Saturday and charged with two felonies (assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, and strangulation or suffocation) and two misdemeanors (assault and battery on a household member and Class B drug possession).
