Peppers adjusting to reduced playing time

Posted Sep 16, 2016
When he talked about having a reduced role, Green Bay Packers linebacker Julius Peppers couldn't have envisioned playing just 40 percent of the defense's snaps in the season opener. Not after playing 71 percent and 84 percent in the previous two openers. It was a drastic reduction for a guy who at age 36 recognizes that he can't play the same amount of snaps he used to.
