New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers said his legal team is cooperating with the NFL's ongoing investigation, but isn't sure when he might be back after being removed from the commissioner exempt list and becoming eligible to participate in practice and play in the team's games.

New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers returned to practice for the first time since October on Tuesday. He also had a short media scrum with reporters in the locker room. As expected, Peppers was advised by his attorneys not to talk about the events that led to him being placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.
