Jabrill Peppers couldn’t walk, couldn’t sleep ahead of Patriots’ Week 1 win

CINCINNATI — Something to keep in mind for the future: As long as Jabrill Peppers has both legs intact, he’s not missing a Patriots season opener.

Peppers was added to the Patriots’ injury report as questionable with a hip injury on Saturday. He went through a pregame warmup and wound up playing Sunday and finished second on the team with six tackles in the 16-10 win over the Bengals.

So, what happened?

“Friday practice, I kind of landed funny. And I kind of felt it, but later on that night, I really couldn’t sleep. I was up all night, probably only got like two hours of sleep on Friday,” Peppers said. “Came in, couldn’t really walk Saturday morning. And I didn’t know that they had to list me as whatever they listed me as. I attacked the treatment, and they had a good game plan for me. Had to go to the hotel across the street to use the pool, get my legs going and everything. There was no way I was going to miss the first game of the season, my leg would have had to fall off to miss that.”
