Doesn't really harm the team to keep him around, either. Unless he became some sort of distraction (but considering he hasn't tweeted in ages and stays pretty quiet, I get the feeling he was told to keep his head down).

Does not help, I commend Jerry but unless Gregory can get his head on right he offers nothing to the Cowboys. I would much rather invest in player who can help this team not invest in players who the team has to baby sit. I don't think he is a bad person I think he has some real issues and he needs to address it but Cowboys should not be a halfway house from pot heads

FRISCO, Texas – For the first time all season, the Cowboys are expecting to get pass-rusher Randy Gregory back on the practice field on Wednesday.

The second-year defensive end is not eligible to play until at least Week 16 of this season, assuming he is officially cleared by the NFL. Gregory is serving a combined 14-game suspension from the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

Players are allowed a two-week window to begin practicing before they come off of suspension. The Cowboys return to practice on Wednesday at The Star in preparation for Sunday’s game with the Giants.

While there have been reports that Gregory could be facing yet a third suspension, the NFL has not yet made an announcement or ruling on that situation. For now, Gregory is set to return for Week 16, meaning he could play against the Lions and Eagles, and then in the playoffs, barring any other setbacks.

one of babe laufenberg's rules applies here.

We will tolerate you until we can replace you.

He has already been replaced

 

[John813]

Well, can't hurt to see him out there.

 

[Nightman]

He is eligible to practice now because his 14 game suspension is over. He has to WIN the appeal for his YEARLONG suspension (previously announced a number of weeks ago) to play. This news means very little unless he has a winner argument on appeal, which is doubtful.

He still has 2 games left on his 14 game suspension......the NFL lets players at least start practicing on the long suspensions(10+) a couple weeks early

 

[Broges74]

Is that what they typically do?

Did they do that with Josh Gordon and others?

What about when the 4 game became a 14 game from RG himself?

 

[Titleist]

This is what I expected all along. Unless the NFL can expedite the appeal process, Gregory will likely be able to play this season.

Now of course, if his appeal is rejected next spring/summer, he will be toast for the 2017 season.

 

[Nightman]

Keep appealing to the SCOTUS......there is nothing to lose.....he is facing an indefinite ban

 

[Crown Royal]

Likley they IR Jaylon Smith and activate Gregory, depending on other injuries. I don't want to see someone cut for Gregory - THAT would be unfair.

 

[Broges74]

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.

Nope. Weed has been shown to assist in you losing weight. So have as much of the munchies as you like man!

 

[LandryFan]

And we say how that played out the last time the media jumped prematurely on a Gregory story

I'm still waiting on that "significant news". Maybe this is it??? If so, I wouldn't call that significant...it was scheduled as part of the normal process.

 

[Risen Star]

Right...Sure.

You can believe whatever you want, Wonderboy. It wouldn't be a hard decision for me. I don't keep posters of players on my wall. That moron would not be allowed back in the building.

Like for real. Pinky swear. Sup?

 

[jrumann59]

how do suspensions work for playoff teams? Lets say he they turndown his appeal leading up to the Divisional game does his suspension start then or start of next season, if it starts then do those games count towards the bottom line number of games missed, IE suspended 10 games during the playoffs misses the divisional, NFCC, and the SB because his team made it there. Does that mean he only misses 7 at the start of the next season.

 

[Broges74]

Please be TRUE! We need a pass rusher is the worst way. Also need to see if it is even worth trying to fix the guy!

Jaylon is not counting against the roster.

 

[Denim Chicken]

That moron would not be allowed back in the building.

He's been in the building for some time.
