Twitter: Randy Gregory eligible to return to practice this week

[theebs]

Yeah, I said RARELY if ever. Bell had his 4 games reduced to 3 last summer. Hey, I hope you guys are right.

sorry i was just asking because i wasnt sure if that was the reason or not.

 

[popp1234]

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

Yes, Dunbar! I kid. I kid.

 

[theebs]

Now that he can officially come back. This would be a great opportunity for him to gather up his belongings, empty his locker and be shown the door.

one of babe laufenberg's rules applies here.

We will tolerate you until we can replace you.

 

[Primetime42]

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.

Would be a real **** move of them.

 

[drawandstrike]

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.

Correct. Lane Johnson got in several games while his last PED appeal was being heard.

 

[NextGenBoys]

What is going on anymore?

I can't keep up with this. First he's suspended, then he appeals, then he rescinds the appeal, then he gets suspended again, then he appeals again, now he'll be eligible to practice?

What is going on?

 

[cej757]

Nah, how many times does this "missed a test" defense hold up? Rarely if ever. HE gone.

If he's appealing a missed test, I bet it has to do with him being in rehab when they wanted him to test.

 

[drawandstrike]

So they have recognized that he failed another drug test? The NFL themselves reported this?

Because last I heard they didn't know of another failed test.

Yes, the last official word from the NFL on this was "Failed a test, you say? That's news to us. We don't know a thing about it."

 

[CATCH17]

What is going on anymore?

I can't keep up with this. First he's suspended, then he appeals, then he rescinds the appeal, then he gets suspended again, then he appeals again, now he'll be eligible to practice?

What is going on?

We definitely need some clarification.

 

[CATCH17]

If he's appealing a missed test, I bet it has to do with him being in rehab when they wanted him to test.

That would be good if true. Surely the NFL wouldn't hold that against him.

 

[Risen Star]

I wouldn't even let him in the building.

 

[DC Cowboy]

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

Good Point

 

[Clarkson]

I wouldn't even let him in the building.

You probably would.
But it's easy to say you wouldn't since you're not in the position. Hard-line hot takes on the internet are easier than actually making the real-life decisions.

 

[Zordon]

Correct. Lane Johnson got in several games while his last PED appeal was being heard.

Mara's having this one expedited.

 

[Jarv]

If he's appealing a missed test, I bet it has to do with him being in rehab when they wanted him to test.

Hey, maybe they cut a deal like this...Randy, we know you missed your test and we understand you were in rehab, which is why you missed your test. He's the deal, stay clean through 3 months of testing and we'll cut down or throw out your suspension. Keep this quiet, don't let anyone know about this deal. It will keep those PIA Cowboys fans guessing and going crazy...lol (Whole room laughs).

 

[Risen Star]

Thanks.

I wouldn't.

 

[theebs]

mike fisher must have read albert breers tweet!

he is now saying he is hearing he can practice tomorrow.

 

[Cowboys22]

If he's appealing a missed test, I bet it has to do with him being in rehab when they wanted him to test.

The DMN article states he left the rehab facility for a weekend and missed a scheduled test. If that is the case, he will certainly lose the appeal. That still begs the question why would the players union agree to appeal and open and shut case?

 

[Doomsay]

Worried about the bad NFL juju associated with him playing under suspension, rational, or not, we saw how the league can influence close games in 2014.

 

[MileyDancer]

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

Haven't you been paying attention to this board? He's the best to ever play at his position. /s
