The New England Patriots have added another key player to the injury report ahead of their Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Safety Jabrill Peppers is listed as questionable for Sunday's game with a hip injury, per Ian Rapoport on X, formerly Twitter. Peppers was expected to be a captain in Sunday's game, but now could be among others to miss the Patriots' first opportunity against a conference opponent.
Peppers and the Patriots came to terms on a three-year, $24 million contract extension in the offseason. He has been a reliable player for New England in the last two seasons, appearing in 17 games in 2022, and 15 games in 2023.
