The Patriots play the Bills on Sunday at 1 p.m. They have Kyle Dugger, Jalen Mills, rookie Marte Mapu and Adrian Phillips available to fill in for Peppers.

Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster already was ruled out on Friday, leaving DeVante Parker, DeMario Douglas, Tyquan Thornton and Jalen Reagor available from the 53-man roster to play the Bills. The Patriots also have rookie T.J. Luther on their practice squad.

Saturday’s news means Dugger, defensive tackle Christian Barmore, cornerbacks Jonathan Jones, Shaun Wade and Myles Bryant, tight end Hunter Henry, linebacker Anfernee Jennings and special teams captain Matthew Slater, all listed as questionable, made the trip to Buffalo.

Henry and Slater didn’t play last week against the Broncos.
