Jabrill Peppers was back to playing football for the Patriots on Sunday, but the hard-hitting safety is no longer a team captain following his October arrest.

New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers is active for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts after being taken off the commissioner exempt list this week amid his ongoing domestic violence and drug case.

The Indianapolis Colts will have wide receiver Alec Pierce back on the field as they visit the New England Patriots, who will see the return of safety Jabrill Peppers, on Sunday in Foxborough, Mass. Pierce missed practice Wednesday and Thursday with a foot injury but returned to full practice Friday and is expected to play against the Patriots (3-9).
