Giants safety Jabrill Peppers left Sunday’s loss to the Bears as the result of an injury sustained during a rather unexpected kickoff return, and he would not return to the field After the game, Peppers was in obvious pain — more than the normal wear and tear — and revealed that he would be sent for an MRI when the team returned to East Rutherford Unfortunately for Peppers, he will not be able to play through the spinal injury and may very well end his first season with Big Blue. The recovery timetable for a transverse process fracture (fracture of the vertebrae protecting the spinal cord) is generally in the 6-week range. In addition to Peppers, the Giants also announced that wide receiver Golden Tate had suffered a concussion and was placed into league-mandated protocol
