After New York Giants, strong safety Jabrill Peppers forced his way onto the field to return a punt, he popped up gingerly immediately after landing hard on his hip. Peppers was pulled from the game and was seen in a tremendous amount of pain in the locker room after the game.
Since being knocked out of the week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears, Peppers was diagnosed with a broken bone in his back, hindering him significantly from playing further this season. The Giants stated that he could return and that the injury was based on his pain tolerance.
