New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was put on the NFL's commissioner exempt list this week after pleading not guilty on Monday to charges of assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation and possession of a Class B substance which police said tested positive for cocaine.
On Friday, team owner Robert Kraft said the team was conducting its own investigation into the matter.
"[The NFL will] do their independent checking. We're doing ours," he said during an appearance on The Breakfast Club [46:00 mark].
