Cowboys | Randy Gregory faces longer suspension
Dallas Cowboys DE Randy Gregory recently committed another violation of the NFL’s Substance Abuse Policy. He is now facing a 10-game suspension as opposed to his original four-game punishment, according to sources. Some involved with the Cowboys are concerned Gregory may not play again.
Footballguys View: Gregory had plenty of baggage coming out of Nebraska, and now he’s in trouble again. A second-round pick in 2015, Gregory gets an additional six games of suspension with this latest infraction. We may not see the second-year player on the field much if at all this season.
