Jabrill Peppers will not play in Orange Bowl
The Orange Bowl was expected to have some of the top NFL prospects in the country.
It will, but it’ll be down one.
Jabrill Peppers suffered an injury in practice and will not play against Florida State in the Orange Bowl.
Jabril Peppers practiced all week, planned on playing, tweaked hamstring at practice yesterday. Injury not major but not enough time to heal

Those who know Jabril Peppers say this "is not a McCaffrey or Fournette situation, he wanted to and planned on playing." But can't.

It isn’t known what expertly what the injury was, just that Peppers went through warm-ups and couldn’t play through it. It’s believed to be some sort of leg injury.
Peppers was the B1G Defensive Player of the Year and a Heisman Trophy finalist. It’ll be his first game missed since his true freshman season.
