The defense for the New England Patriots will be as close to full health as it’s been since the start of the season.
Both safety Jabrill Peppers and defensive end Deatrich Wise Jr. have been given the green light to play in Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Peppers was dropped from the Commissioner’s Exempt List and reinstated by the NFL earlier in the week. He hasn’t played since the team’s Week 4 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Meanwhile, Wise has missed the last two games due to a foot injury.
The team did rule out wide receiver K.J. Osborn and safety Marte Mapu for the game. Here’s the full list of inactives for the Patriots and Colts ahead of the Week 13 matchup:

The Patriots will be looking to bounce back from consecutive losses to the Miami Dolphins and Los Angeles Rams, while the Colts are coming off a loss to the Detroit Lions.
We’ll see which AFC team comes out on top Sunday.
