A major player for the New England Patriots is facing an injury shortly after securing a new contract.
During training camp in Foxborough, the Patriots are preparing for their first season under new head coach Jerod Mayo. While the team has significant work to do offensively, they have some strong defensive players.
As the second week of training camp began, a key player sustained an injury.

Patriots News: Jabrill Peppers Suffers Lower Body Injury
On Monday, Jabrill Peppers was seen leaving practice with an apparent lower-body injury. The exact details have not been disclosed, but this injury caused the former Michigan star to miss Tuesday’s practice. He was observed on the sidelines, not in uniform, alongside second-year linebacker Marte Mapu.
This injury occurred just days after Peppers signed a three-year, $24 million extension, which could potentially increase to $30 million.
While it’s unfortunate timing for a player who recently secured a significant contract, injuries are an inevitable part of football.
The Patriots’ first preseason game is scheduled for August 8 against the Carolina Panthers, giving Peppers some time to recover before the season begins.

Peppers was a standout performer for the Patriots last year, recording 78 total tackles, five tackles for loss, eight pass deflections, two interceptions, and one forced fumble. At 28 years old, he earned the fifth-highest overall grade at safety from Pro Football Focus, with a score of 87.3.
His impact on the field is substantial, and the Patriots are hopeful to see No. 5 back in action soon.
