Randy Gregory has been laying the groundwork for his return to football, David Moore of the Dallas Morning News writes. Representatives of the defensive end are “in the process of doing the work necessary to apply for reinstatement,” Moore adds. 
Gregory has not seen the field since the 2016 season due to multiple violations of the league’s substance abuse policy. However, the latest word on him is positive and he passed drug tests in the fall. Once the right paperwork is in place, it is expected that Gregory will meet with commissioner Roger Goodell. Based on Goodell’s previous handling of players in similar situations, it seems as though Gregory could be allowed back on the field if he can demonstrate that he is drug free.
The former second-round pick out of Nebraska has notched just 15 career tackles. He has one sack to his credit, which came in Dallas’ 2016 season finale.
Good for him.
Cowboys Roy Tarpley, so much wasted talent, wasted,
Jerry Jones is such a great GM. I mean, he’s almost prescient in his foresight of who will become a great NFL player.
I had to look “prescient”. Well played, Sir.
Gregory has been horribly disappointing, however, as a retired federal parole agent (drug specialist-28 yrs) I will say he’s got a slight chance to turn it around. I say this primarily because although he was addicted to thc (yes addicted) he never committed any crimes that we know of and actually seems to be a decent guy. I’d also imagine he suffers from some type of mental health issue for which he was self medicating. If so and if he’s now being legally medicated he has a shot.
