Could be the first step to a return for Randy Gregory.

It’s premature to say the Cowboys are counting on Gregory for the upcoming season. He must first petition for reinstatement — a step sources say will be taken soon — and then have commissioner Roger Goodell lift his latest suspension.
But given dramatic alterations for how marijuana use is viewed in the new collective bargaining agreement, it’s difficult to envision a scenario where Goodell would keep the suspension in place.
Perhaps the biggest thing that Gregory has going for him isn’t even the league’s stance on marijuana changing but the fact that his team, the Dallas Cowboys, have his back as strongly as they do. The Cowboys have backed him since day one and always believed that he has a future in football.
