Peppers (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game against the Rams, Art Stapleton reports from The Bergen Record.
Julian Love (knee) is listed as questionable but plays, so the Giants at least have one of their two deep initials available. Peppers injured his ankle after betting only nine defensive shots in last week’s loss to the 49ers, leaving Love and Logan Ryan as a protective duo. Peppers also handled clearing returns, however, the Giants did not want a replacement last week, as the Niners finished each practice with a landing or a box attempt. The titular recipients Golden Tate and Darius Slayton are the other boys indexed as breakers in the intensity chart on the team’s website.
