New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers got some good news on Monday, as he was removed from the NFL's commissioner's exempt list.
According to the Boston Herald's Doug Kyed, the 29-year-old was removed because " the baseline suspension for a violation of the personal conduct policy involving the actions for which he's accused is six games, and he's already missed seven games."
After the news was announced, Peppers took to social media to share his reaction to his reinstatement. On Instagram, the former Michigan Wolverine posted a photo of himself smiling with the caption"Smitle through it all, it's gon be alright!"
As Kyed notes, the NFL may still impose additional discipline at the end of this process. The next step is the jury trial which will take place on Jan. 22.
At this point, the league has permitted Peppers to return to the practice field and play for the Patriots. We will see if New England does the same.
