Peppers was arrested for assault and drug possession\u00a0in Massachusetts, leading to him being placed on the list on Oct. 9.<\/p>\n<p>The league is continuing to investigate the matter and the Patriots acknowledged that this is an ongoing situation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The league has removed Jabrill Peppers from the commissioner&#8217;s exempt list. After missing the past seven games, he will now return to the active roster,&#8221; the Patriots said in a statement. &#8220;We understand that the league&#8217;s investigation into the matter will continue, as will the legal process. We will await the outcome of both before making any further comment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Peppers, 29, was arrested after police responded to an altercation between two people on Oct. 5 at around 4 a.m. ET. Court documents state that a woman told police that Peppers choked her at least six times, pushed her down the stairs, hit her, took off her clothing and put her outside.<\/p>\n<p>Police then charged Peppers with assault and battery on an intimate partner, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and strangulation. He was also charged with possession of a Class B drug after cocaine was found in his wallet.<\/p>\n<p>In a hearing on Oct. 7, the Patriots safety pled not guilty to the charges and was released on $2,500 bail.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have evidence that completely contradicts the alleged victim&#8217;s story. I expect my client to be fully exonerated,&#8221; Peppers&#8217; attorney Marc Brofsky told reporters after the hearing.<\/p>\n<p>A jury trial is set for Jan. 22.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The league is still investigating the matter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":12567,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Patriots&#039;
