Peppers (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Peppers returned to practice Wednesday after being removed from the commissioner's exempt list Monday, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury despite not playing in the Patriots' last eight games. His participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can return for Sunday's matchup against the Colts.

Peppers (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Peppers returned to practice Wednesday after being removed from the commissioner's exempt list Monday, but he appears to have picked up a knee injury despite not playing in the Patriots' last eight games. His participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can return for Sunday's matchup against the Colts.
Dugger (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. The 28-year-old has now played through his ankle issue in consecutive games, so Wednesday's limited practice session is likely precautionary. Dugger has tallied 44 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and three passes defended through eight appearances this season, and he'll likely continue playing through injury unless he downgrades to no participation Thursday or Friday.
Wise (foot) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Wise has missed each of the Patriots' last two games after sustaining a foot injury in the team's Week 10 win over the Bears, but Wednesday's limited session suggests he could be nearing a return. The 30-year-old's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide the best indication of whether he can suit up in Week 13, when the Patriots host the Colts.
Douglas was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Douglas has two more chances to increase his practice participation before the Patriots potentially give him a designation for Sunday's game against the Colts. Through the Patriots' first 12 games of the season, Douglas leads the team's wideout group in catches (48), receiving yards (477) and targets (66).
Coach Jerod Mayo said Tuesday that he anticipates Peppers will practice during the week after being removed from the commissioner exempt list, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports. The issue that led to Peppers' arrest and placement on the commissioner exempt list back in October is still the subject of a league inquiry, but it looks like he'll have the okay to practice ahead of Week 13. Whether he'll play versus the Colts is still up in the air.
Barmore recorded two total tackles (both solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Patriots. Barmore missed the Patriots' first 10 games this season due to blood clots but returned in Week 11, recording five total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the two games since his comeback. The Alabama product's snap share increased from 39 percent in Week 11 to 52 percent in Week 12, and it will likely continue to rise as he regains full football shape. Barmore is expected to remain a disruptive force for New England's defense as the Patriots host the Colts in Week 13.
Tavai recorded eight total tackles (three solo), including one tackle for loss, and defended one pass in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins. The 28-year-old tied Marcus Jones as the Patriots' leading-tackler Sunday and has now accumulated a team-leading 83 total tackles through 12 games. Tavai is on pace for the best statistical season of his career in 2024, as he is likely to surpass his previous highs of 110 total tackles and five passes defended before the season concludes. Expect Tavai to remain one of the Patriots' top inside linebackers as the season progresses.
Jones recorded eight total tackles (all solo) and defended three passes in Sunday's 34-15 loss to the Dolphins. The third-year pro played 100 percent of the Patriots' defensive snaps Sunday for just the second time this season, tying Jahlani Tavai for the team's leading-tackler. Jones has seen a recent spike in production, tallying 21 total tackles and four passes defended across the Patriots' last three games. His next opportunity to take the field will come in Week 13, when the Patriots host the Colts.
