Twitter: Randy Gregory eligible to return to practice this week

[Crown Royal]

Quick reminder: the last official word from the NFL was: "Failed a test? New suspension? That's news to us. We don't know a thing about it."

When the *NFL* says there was a failed/missed drug test and the *NFL* says there's a new suspension being appealed right now it will mean something.

The NFL hasn't said one ******* word about a new failed drug test or a new suspension being appealed by Randy Gregory. The only source for this are media people who keep repeating one another without any confirmation of this by the NFL itself.

The context of the tweets indicate that this happened and the suspension is under appeal, but I agree. I'm surprised that was never brought up.

The news on this one has been altogether. There haven't been many statements, no press releases, etc. Just been very hush hush.

Any fan that states he doesn't want #94 back.....needs to assess their true fan ship--cause we need pass rush help more than ANYTHING

He could hook you up with some premium cush if you just open the door.

Man adding a fresh legged Randy Gregory, who got the best pressure for us in limited time last year, for the playoff run would be outstanding. Even if we just played him on passing downs. His talent wouldn't just be gone- just go out and rush the QB.

A healthy Mo and Gregory would be a huge injection of talent on this defense for the playoffs.

Lol, my age and non-use of the product is showing! Thanks for the correction.

We desperately need help in the pass rush. Even if he only gets 5-10 snaps a game as a situational pass rusher, I think it's worth a chance. Unless we want to move on from "bad character" players, then we should've cut him weeks ago. No sense having him on the roster if we never intend to play him.

I suspect a media guy mixed up the news about RoMac and assumed it was GREGORY that was being hit with the new suspension. And didn't want to look bad by correcting himself.

You know who the NFL *has* officially announced a new suspension for? Rolando McClain. On Gregory there's been zilch.

But all these media sports reporters endlessly parroted each other about 'Randy Gregory's new suspension' and so here we are.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Love to see Gregory back, but we all know it's not going to happen.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP, FRIENDS. JUST BECAUSE HE IS APPEALING AND PRACTICING, DOES NOT MEAN NFL WONT SLAM THE DOOR RIGHT BEFORE HE IS ELIGIBLE TO PLAY.

Except that the team hasn't necessarily squashed the rumour. I hope you're right, but not getting my hopes up.

I don't think he got them mixed up. I don't even think at this point that Gregory didn't miss/fail the last one. It's just odd how quiet the news has been about it. Been 3-4 weeks since the news broke, by now I would expect there would have been a public statement confirming it.

He's been bad, he been good. Dallas Texas, Hollywood.. he ain't asking for much, I said lord take me downtown I'm just looking for some Kush

He needs to hire Alan Branch's lawyer.

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

He has been notified of impending suspension so yes. Does not matter if concrete proof of another suspension is in the media since the NFL supposedly does not release that info until they fully ajudicate it.

 

[Silver Surfer]

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

And he's got the highest blood pressure rate for fans this year.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

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

Agreed. Adding another potential edge rusher...one with blue chip credentials...sounds horrible.

My god man.

 

[Ranching]

With the munchies and all the Doritos and Oreos he's had over the last year, he might come in weighing 300 lbs. I don't care, as long as he can rush the passer.

Suspensions are usually announced AFTER the appeal process. For reasons of privacy or whatever. When the appeal is processed, upheld or reversed, then an announcement will be made.

It does not stop "sources" ie agents and whoever from leaking the information.

 

[manster4ever]

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

no problemo. I just don't want anyone to get their hopes up. Like I said...RG isn't a bad guy IMO, he just has issues and I don't think he's very reliable at this point. Love to be wrong though.

 

[jrumann59]

Maybe we can get Randy back and have someone plant a dime bag on the QB and tell randy the QB has the goods....
