The Dallas Cowboys have activated defensive end Randy Gregory off the non-football injury list after a year away from football on a substance-abuse suspension.
Gregory has played in just two of the past 32 regular-season games because of multiple suspensions. Commissioner Roger Goodell reinstated him not long before the Cowboys reported to training camp in California.
The former Nebraska standout participated in a walkthrough practice for the first time Wednesday. Gregory wasn’t expected to participate in the padded practice in the afternoon. Coach Jason Garrett said Dallas is ”still going to be very deliberate with him.”
The 25-year-old was banned for the first four games of 2016 before a 10-game suspension was announced while he served the first penalty. Gregory was suspended indefinitely after getting his first career sack in the final game of the 2016 regular season.

Most of the attention on the Steelers quarterback position has been on the newest one and the oldest one.
But one of the guys in the middle may not be as safe as he’s been in the past.

Derrick Kindred Jersey , Steelers coach Mike Tomlin wouldn’t commit to the number of roster spots the team would use on quarterbacks, which is another way of asking if backup Landry Jones‘ job is safe.
“We’ll see where the road ends
Josh Ferguson Jersey ,” Tomlin said.
Jones has been with the team the last five seasons, and is valued by starter Ben Roethlisberger.
But Jones has only started five games in five seasons
Jake Fisher Jersey , and the Steelers have used mid-round picks on quarterbacks the last two years. With 2017 fourth-rounder Joshua Dobbs and 2018 third-rounder Mason Rudolph, there are younger (and cheaper) alternatives if they don’t want to keep Jones around.
Of course
Richard Dent Jersey , there’s also the possibility the odd man out (assuming they keep three) has some value to another team, and perhaps the Steelers are just keeping their options open.
