The Patriots initially listed safety Jabrill Peppers as questionable for Sunday’s game in their Friday injury report, but they made an early decision about his availability.
Peppers has now been ruled out due to a shoulder injury.
This leaves the Patriots potentially down two safeties against the Dolphins, as Kyle Dugger is also questionable with an ankle injury and hasn’t practiced all week.
Additionally, several other players are listed as questionable, including wide receiver K.J. Osborn (shoulder), cornerback Jonathan Jones (shoulder), linebacker Anfernee Jennings (shoulder), wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee), cornerback Marcus Jones (groin), center Nick Leverett (ankle), tackle Vederian Lowe (knee), guard Michael Jordan (ankle), safety Marte Mapu (calf), and guard Layden Robinson (ankle, wrist). Linebacker Sione Takitaki (knee) is doubtful for the game.
