Title: Multi-party Efforts to Accumulate Momentum, China's Foreign Trade Expected to End on a Stable NoteMayor Adams' $5 billion housing plan to reshape NYC approved by City CouncilNew England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers has been removed from the NFL's commissioner's exempt list, the league announced on Monday. "In accordance with the Personal Conduct Policy, the league initiated a preliminary investigation into an incident from early October. That review will remain ongoing and is not affected by this change in Peppers' roster status," the NFL said in a statement. While on the list, Peppers was not permitted to practice or attend games. Now, he can participate in all team activities, which includes playing in the game. The Patriots released a statement after this was announced. "The league has removed Jabrill Peppers from the commissioner’s exempt list. After missing the past seven games, he will now return to the active roster. We understand that the league’s investigation into the matter will continue, as will the legal process. We will await the outcome of both before making any further comment," the organization said. The Boston Herald's Doug Kyed further reported why he was removed. "Per a league source, the reason Patriots S Jabrill Peppers was removed from the commissioner's exempt list was because the baseline suspension for a violation of the personal conduct policy involving the actions for which he's accused is six games. He's already missed seven games. If Peppers had remained on the exempt list through his next court date, Jan. 22, he would have missed a total of 12 games. The NFL may still impose discipline at the end of the process if evidence is found that demonstrates Peppers violated the personal conduct policy. The NFL will look to conclude its investigation once there has been a disposition." Peppers was placed on the list after police responded to a disturbance at a home on Oct. 5. Peppers was arrested and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation, and possession of cocaine. Peppers was ordered to stay away from the alleged female victim, who says the safety "hit her, choked her, took off her clothing and put her outside." She also told officers that Peppers had his hand on her neck and smashed her head against the wall before pushing her down the stairs, according to police reports. Peppers says that he asked the woman to leave multiple times and denies putting his hands on her. He claims that she “fell by herself on the stairs because she was intoxicated.” Peppers' pre-trial hearing was on Friday, where his attorney, Marc Alan Brofsky, said the victim is “demanding $10.5 million to settle this case, or else she would file a civil suit.” The alleged victim's lawyers claim they did not ask for "a monetary payment for our client’s pain and suffering." Peppers is set to go to trial on Jan. 22. The NFL can still discipline Peppers following the trial if there is evidence he violated the personal conduct policy.
