Won't play this week Peppers (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Julian Love (knee) is listed as questionable but is expected to play, so the Giants should at least have one of their two starting safeties available. Peppers injured his ankle after playing only nine defensive snaps in last week's loss to the 49ers, leaving Love and Logan Ryan as the safety duo. Peppers also handles punt returns, but the Giants didn't need a replacement last week because the Niners finished every drive with a touchdown or field-goal attempt. Starting wide receivers Golden Tate and Darius Slayton are the other guys listed as punt returners on the depth chart on the team website.

Misses back-to-back practices Peppers (ankle) did not participate during Thursday's practice session, Dan Salomone of Giants.com reports.

Impact There was promising news earlier in the week when Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reported that Peppers would not require surgery after suffering an in-game injury against the 49ers. His status for a Week 4 road trip to Los Angeles seems cloudy at the moment, however, as he's logged consecutive DNPs between Wednesday and Thursday. If Peppers is unable to play in a matchup against the Rams' top-10 pass offense, 31-year-old Nate Ebner would likely see an increase in usage.

Won't need surgery Peppers' (ankle) injury won't require surgery, and he could return as soon as Sunday's game against the Rams depending on how his ankle responds in practice this week, Jordan Raana...

Impact Peppers had tests done on his low-ankle sprain Monday, and the results were encouraging. The play-making safety should be considered questionable for Sunday's trip to Los Angeles at this time, though we should get a better idea of his status based on Peppers' practice participation throughout the week.

Remains day-to-day Peppers (ankle) doesn't have an official timetable for his return and is considered day-to-day, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact The 24-year-old sustained a low-ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the 49ers, and it remains to be seen if he'll miss any games. Peppers' status for Week 4 should receive some clarity once the Giants return to practice later in the week.

Sprains ankle Sunday Peppers suffered a low-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the 49ers and will have further tests to establish a timeline for his return, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's encouraging that Peppers avoided the dreaded high-ankle sprain, but he still could miss a game or two depending on what the tests reveal. The Michigan product has looked good as a punt returner this season, and he's recorded 10 tackles as a safety. If he's forced to miss any time, Golden Tate will likely return punts while Nate Ebner logs more snaps at safety.

Impact Peppers appeared to suffered the injury on a field goal attempt by the 49ers, as he was rolled up on his ankle. As long as Peppers is sidelined, look for Nate Ebner to take over as the team's strong safety.
