Randy Gregory suffered relapse in August, may face discipline from NFL

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory, who will play in his first regular-season game since 2016 on Sunday, suffered a substance-related relapse last month that the NFL could rule on as early as this week, league sources tell ESPN.

Sources in Dallas thought the league would decide whether to discipline Gregory last week, before Sunday's regular-season opener against the Carolina Panthers, but the league still is studying the case and factoring in the steps that Gregroy has taken over the past month since his setback.

More and more, in one of the interesting and quiet trends around the league, the NFL has become more tolerant when a player violates the drug policy. It has softened its stance on drug policy perpetrators. There have been multiple examples this offseason of a player having a disputed test, with the league emphasizing treatment and support rather than discipline, which was one of the NFLPA's goals when the policy was reconfigured in 2014.

Within the past year, the NFL has recognized that addiction is best treated in ways other than suspending players. Gregory is the latest example, though he still faces a key ruling from the NFL that could come as early as this week.

Gregory has missed 30 of the past 32 regular-season games, including the entire 2017 season, for multiple violations of the substance-abuse policy. He was reinstated by the league in July after meeting with commissioner Roger Goodell.

Knowing the NFL and the way they treat the Cowboys I can't believe they would let Gregory play in this game. Seems like if he had a dirty UA they would have already handed down the death penalty. I wonder what his relapse was.

Accidentally deleted my previous post.

Basically I just want to know if any members of the Dallas area media will man up and apologize for bashing and mocking Jason La Canfora.

Pretty pathetic that he scooped them by a full TWO weeks on a story in their own backyard.

Good question. I doubt they do but we shall see.

You're going to tell me the Gregory had his final reinstatement meeting with a doctor after this supposedly happened and the doc still cleared him having this knowledge. I'm calling bullshit.

As a recovering alcoholic and drug addict and someone who works in that field, I am sympathetic but my God. With all of the work he's put in to get back on the field, and all of the help he's received, I just can't understand jeopardizing a career that could potentially make him millions just to smoke pot.

I thought this was his last chance? Didn't think he'd be given anymore slack.
I'm happy for you on your recovery

Im with you, that would make zero sense.

 

[Rev]

the meeting could have been because of the relapse.

 

[Cotton]

the meeting could have been because of the relapse.

His agent says neither he or Gregory have been contacted about any relapse issue.

 

[Couchcoach]

Hoping this isn't what it looks like
I feel for the guy with his bipolar condition. But also wondering if he also struggles with moron disorder

Hoping it is just a rumor that someone is running with.

Doubtful.

I can't give Gregory or his agent the benefit of the doubt on this. He simply hasn't earned it.

To you and I it may seem inconceivable for someone to work hard to get to this point only to throw it away by smoking another joint, but with Randy Gregory the idea of him doing that isn't far-fetched. Remember this is the same guy who got high and failed a drug test at the 2015 NFL Combine.....FULLY KNOWING that all prospects are drug tested at the combine.

 

[Sheik]

Where does this guy get his weed? Must be some crazy good shit.

Thank you, sir.
