IRVING, Texas
– Tom Brady had only been sacked five times once in his 16-year career before last Sunday. The Cowboys did it in a single half.

The final score was a 30-6 loss to the defending champion Patriots, but defensively, the Dallas pass rush got three combined sacks from returning defensive end Greg Hardy and linebacker Rolando McClain.

Randy Gregory can only help the emerging group.

The rookie is getting closer to returning from the high ankle sprain he suffered in the Sept. 13 season opener against the Giants – possibly as soon as the Oct. 25 rematch at New York after the bye week. Gregory took part in the first practice of the bye week on Wednesday -- his first practice participation since Week 1.


In September, the team set a tentative four-week timetable for Gregory. Until Wednesday, he hadn’t practiced since the injury but had progressed in his rehab with the athletic training and strength and conditioning staff.

“He was out on the practice field at the end of last week doing some stuff,” Garrett said Monday, “so hopefully he responds well to that work and we’ll take him day by day this week.”

Gregory, the team’s second-round pick, had three sacks in three preseason games and was one of the more consistent defensive players throughout training camp...

The pass rush group will then have Gregory added to:

Greg Hardy, Demarcus Lawrence, Jeremy Mincey, and Jack Crawford.

That's a fierce group! With Lee, Ro, and Hitchens we should be able to defend the dink and dunk successfully.

With everyone healthy, the Cowboys can potentially have a top 5 front 7.

When's the last time we could truthfully say that?

Hopefully with everyone coming back, the coaching staff doesn't forget about Irving. Kid's going to be a beast!

We just need a a little offense. I am hoping for some turnovers and short fields for our overmatched offense to make the job easier.
