3 years agoNew York Giants defensive back Jabrill Peppers (knee, ankle) was placed on the injured reserve Tuesday after suffering a ruptured ACL in his right knee. He is out for the season. The Michigan product sustained the knee injury in a Week 7 win over the Carolina Panthers. He also sprained his high ankle in the same leg in Sunday's win. Peppers finishes the season with 30 tackles, 1.0 sacks, and a pass deflection across six games. The 26-year-old will rehab and focus on getting healthy for the 2022 season. The Giants' defense hasn't been great this season and allows 25.7 points per game in 2021, ranked 23rd overall in the league. Julian Love is expected to replace Peppers in the lineup and should see most of the snaps at strong safety.--Brad Camara - RotoBaller
