FOXBORO — Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers is active Sunday against the Colts after being removed from the commissioner’s exempt list earlier this week.
Here’s the Patriots’ full list of inactives:
QB Joe Milton (3rd QB)
WR K.J. Osborn
G Lester Cotton
G Tyrese Robinson
NT Jaquelin Roy (neck)
DE Titus Leo
LB/S Marte Mapu
Some notes:
— Peppers spent seven weeks on the commissioner’s exempt list after being arrested and pleading not guilty on assault, strangulation and drug charges in October. He missed eight games total and now returns to the lineup, where he’ll join Kyle Dugger, Jaylinn Hawkins, Dell Pettus and Brenden Schooler at safety. Mapu is a healthy scratch.
— Milton can only play if quarterbacks Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett both suffer injuries.
— Osborn is a healthy scratch. The Patriots will dress Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, DeMario Douglas, Ja’Lynn Polk and Javon Baker over him.
— Cotton and Robinson are the newest members of the Patriots’ offensive line. Michael Jordan was waived earlier in the week but re-signed to the practice squad and was elevated Saturday. Expect him to serve as depth. The Patriots also will dress Ben Brown, Demontrey Jacobs, Vederian Lowe, Mike Onwenu, Layden Robinson, Lecitus Smith and Sidy Sow on the offensive line. Cole Strange remains on the PUP list.
— With Roy out, Davon Godchaux, Christian Barmore, Daniel Ekuale, Jeremiah Pharms and Eric Johnson are active.
— Leo was signed off the Colts’ practice squad last month. He won’t get to face his former team.
— Here’s the Colts’ list of inactives: C Tanor Bortolini (concussion), WR Josh Downs (shoulder), WR Ashton Dulin (ankle), QB Sam Ehlinger, S Darren Hall, DE Isaiah Land and RT Braden Smith (personal).
