Thank God. We desperately need his 6 career tackles and 0 sacks to help our defense..

 

[Clove]

Is he eligible to return soon or not?

 

[guag]

Is he worth someone else's roster spot at this point?

Yeah -- those tweets are clear as mud on that topic.

It's nice that Gregory can practice with the team at all, but it doesn't mean a lot if he can't play until late 2017.

if here were healthy and motivated, yes.

Ryan Davis, Benson Mayowa, Mark sanchez

all would be candidates. Not sure they want to go so light with gregory and mayowa but I could see them releasing davis if gregory was eligible and ready to play.

He did have the highest pressure rate on the team last year.

mike fisher has been saying they won't announce his new suspension until he is eligible to play....Not sure if I believe that or not.

if they are awaiting the appeal and expecting it to be upheld then I guess I get what he is saying.

I think I remember seeing that his latest issue was that he missed a test which is automatically deemed a positive test result. If he is appealing, maybe there was a mistake made by the league or the testing company. Who knows what happened but if they are going to let him start practicing and not issue a ruling on the appeal, maybe that is a good sign. It is taking much longer than McClain's deal so maybe there is some good news coming.

It's funny, because he mentions a suspension being under appeal however the Cowboys and the NFL have both never said there was another infraction. As of right now, it would appear that he should be eligible for our last two games.

Did they do that with McClain?

He's eligible week 16, says right in the OP lol

Even if he did fail/miss another drug test, he's eligible to play while it's under appeal, once the previous suspension is up.

Yes, I hear he has a hell of a draw, not a good sharer.

Is that what they typically do?

Did they do that with Josh Gordon and others?

[Doomsday101]

If eligible to return but not play until Det game then he will have time in practice to show the coaches he is ready. Upside is he has been working out at the star on regular basis and attending team meetings. If he is able to return I would think his snaps will be limited

 

[ThreeandOut]

How can he appeal a suspension when he hasn't officially been suspended?

I honestly do not know. It always seems pretty randomly timed.

I mean it would seem odd if the monday before week 16 they suspend him again and Dallas had him practicing and taking reps from guys that will play.

Kind of like that commercial where the old man has the dollar bill on the fishing pole and keeps taking it back.

The Eagles Right Tackle appealed a suspension and made it a few weeks.

This suspension hasn't even been given yet, right? If he appeals it shouldn't he be able to play?

correct, recall reading that as well. The whole Gregory situation is confusing. Who is he appealing to and for what if the league is quoted as saying it hasn't issued an additional suspension? I think they all are smoking something! LOL
