News

  • Adds depth to Tampa Bay defense

    Gregory agreed to a one-year deal with the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Gregory will reunited in Tampa with outside linebackers coach George Edwards, whom the 2015 second-round pick played for while both were with the Cowboys. The addition of the 31-year-old will bolster Tampa Bay's edge rotation, with Gregory coming off a 2023 regular season in which he recorded 20 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 16 games between the Broncos and 49ers.

  • Good to go Monday

    Gregory (illness) is active for Monday's matchup against the Ravens, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was added to the injury report Sunday with an illness and was given a questionable designation, but the aliment won't prevent him from suiting up. Over his last four appearances, Gregory has recorded three tackles, including one sack, while playing a rotational role.

  • Gets added to injury report

    Gregory (illness) is now questionable for Monday's game against the Ravens, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was able to practice all week, but the veteran is now under the weather, putting his status for Week 16 in question. If he's unable to play, it'll be a blow to the 49ers' depth on the edge but will create extra opportunities for Robert Beal and Clelin Ferrell.

  • Won't play Week 5

    Gregory won't be available to play for San Francisco on Sunday versus Dallas, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The 49ers acquired Gregory in a trade with the Broncos on Friday, but the veteran edge rusher won't get a chance to show off his skills for his new team until Week 6. The addition of Gregory should bolster a San Francisco pass rush that already features reigning NFL DPOY Nick Bosa.

  • Dealt to San Fran

    Gregory was traded to San Francisco on Friday along with a 2024 seventh-round draft pick, while Denver received a 2024 sixth-round pick in return, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was expected to be released imminently, but the Broncos managed to find a trade suitor instead to get out from under some of his five-year, $70 million contract. He's struggled to stay on the field since signing that contract in the 2022 offseason, but the 30-year-old edge rusher could make San Francisco's vaunted defense even more fearsome if he can stay healthy. He has just one sack through four games in 2023 but recorded six sacks in both 2018 and 2021.

  • On way out of Denver

    Broncos head coach Sean Payton said Wednesday that Gregory will be released if he's not traded within the next 24 to 48 hours, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post, Payton cited the play of the Broncos' younger edge rushers as the reason for the team's plans to move on from Gregory. Since signing a five-year, $70 million deal with Denver last March, Gregory has appeared in just 10 of a possible 21 games while totaling 21 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles.

  • Set to leave Denver

    The Broncos are expected to release Gregory on Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: Denver will cut Gregory lose after he was bypassed for the start at outside linebacker in the Week 4 win over the Bears in favor of Nik Bonitto. Gregory still played 47 percent of the snaps on defense and totaled three tackles, but the Broncos seem inclined to increase Bonitto's role after he tallied four tackles and 2.5 sacks in the win over Chicago. Gregory signed a five-year, $70 million contract with Denver last offseason, but he was held back by injuries in 2022 and will move on from the…read more

  • Participating at OTAs

    Gregory was practicing with the team Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Gregory finished the 2022 campaign on injured reserve due to a knee injury. However, it appears the 30-year-old is now fully healed and ready to compete. A healthy Gregory, who missed a total of 11 games last season, would be a major boon for the Broncos' defense moving forward.

  • Done for season

    Gregory (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

    Analysis: That now makes 21 Broncos placed on injured reserve to start the season, easily the most in the NFL. The 29-year-old played in just six games this season, as Gregory also was placed on injured reserve earlier this year after undergoing surgery to trim his meniscus. He ends the 2022 season with just two sacks and 19 total sacks, hardly figures expected after he joined the franchise on a five-year, $70 million deal this offseason.

  • Ruled out for Week 17

    Gregory (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Kansas City, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Although Gregory had his one-game suspension reduced to a fine, he was unable to practice this week due to a knee injury. Jonathon Cooper will likely see increased playing time against the Chiefs.

  • Suspension reduced to fine

    Gregory's one-game suspension stemming from a post-game skirmish Sunday against the Rams has been reduced to a $50,000 fine, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

    Analysis: Gregory, who logged two tackles versus Los Angeles, will thus be available for Sunday's game against Kansas City. Overall, the Broncos strongside linebacker has recorded 12 tackles, two sacks and two forced fumbles over the course of six games this season.

  • Gets one-game suspension

    The NFL suspended Gregory and Rams guard Oday Aboushi one game each for their participation in a skirmish that broke out after Denver's loss on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Pending an appeal, it seems likely that Gregory will have to sit out of the Broncos' game at Kansas City in Week 17. If that is in fact the case, Jonathon Cooper will probably start on the edge across from Baron Browning on Sunday.

  • Available for Week 16

    Gregory (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: After failing to practice all week due to knee soreness, Gregory is now in line to suit up and likely contribute as a rotational linebacker in Sunday's contest versus the Rams.

  • Will be game-time decision Sunday

    Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Gregory (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Rams, with his status likely to come down to a game-time decision, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Analysis: Gregory hasn't practiced all week due to a sore knee, but he apparently still has a chance of suiting up Sunday. Given that he returned to action for last week's win over the Cardinals after missing the previous 10 games while recovering from surgery to address a meniscus injury to his right knee, it's probably more likely than not that the Broncos hold him out Christmas Day as a precaution.

  • Still not practicing Friday

    Gregory (knee) did not participate at practice Friday ahead of Sunday's game at the Rams, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Gregory has not practiced all week, so his outlook as it pertains to potentially playing in Week 16 is bleak. If his lingering knee soreness keeps him sidelined Sunday, Jonathon Cooper should draw another start on the edge across from Baron Browning.

  • Sits out practice to begin Week 16

    Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said Gregory did not practice Thursday due to knee soreness, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was sidelined on IR for nine games after he underwent surgery for an injured meniscus, but he was activated Week 15 and played 20 defensive snaps during Sunday's win over the Broncos. However, it appears he's still not fully healthy after sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday with knee soreness. Hackett also said Thursday that he hope Gregory will be able to play in Sunday's game against the Rams, according to Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, though the defensive end's status on…read more

  • Will be active vs. Arizona

    Denver activated Gregory (knee) from its injured reserve list Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: After missing Denver's last nine games recovering from a surgery for a meniscus injury he underwent after Week 4, Gregory appears poised to play in Week 15. He'll probably be eased back into action, but he should eventually provide a big boost to a Broncos defense that was already playing very well.

  • Designated to return from IR

    The Broncos designated Gregory (knee) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Gregory suffered a meniscus injury in his right knee that needed surgery during Week 4 and has been on injured reserve since. However, he appears to be nearing a return to action and will practice Wednesday, which begins a 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster.

  • Could remain on IR moving forward

    Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said that Gregory (knee) "might need a little bit more time" before coming off IR this season, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Gregory injured the meniscus in his right knee during Denver's Week 4 loss to the Raiders and had an arthroscopic surgery to address this issue. While the typical recovery timeline for this relatively minor procedure is 2-4 weeks, he has yet to be designated to return since going on injured reserve Oct. 4. Gregory signed a five-year, $70 million contract with the Broncos in March and recorded nine tackles, including two sacks, over the first four games of the season. He'll now have just six…read more

  • Out at least four games

    The Broncos placed Gregory (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Gregory exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Raiders due to a right knee injury, and though follow-up tests cleared him of any damage to his ACL, he'll still require an arthroscopic procedure to trim his meniscus. A typical recovery timeline associated with the procedure is 2-4 weeks, but Gregory's move to IR ensures he'll have five weeks to recover -- because the Broncos are on their bye in Week 9, the pass rusher won't be eligible to play until Week 10 in Tennessee.

  • Dodges significant injury

    Gregory had an MRI on Monday which showed his ACL was still intact; however, he will need his knee scoped and will likely miss several weeks, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

    Analysis: The news is bittersweet, as there were concerns Gregory could be looking at a significant ACL injury. However, missing any time is bad news for the Broncos defense, as Gregory has been a force with two sacks and forced fumbles already. He should be sidelined for anywhere from two to six weeks depending how his recovery from the knee scope goes, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. While Gregory is out, Nik Bonitto will likely see increased opportunity.

  • Set for MRI

    Gregory (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his injury, Jeff Legwold of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Gregory suffered a right knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Raiders and he will now have a greater understanding of his status moving forward after Monday's MRI. The 29-year-old has produced nine tackles, including two sacks, while also forcing two fumbles over the first four games of the season. If he's forced to miss any time, Nik Bonitto stands to garner an increase in snaps at weak-side linebacker.

  • Won't return Sunday

    Gregory (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Raiders, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

    Analysis: Gregory sustained a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's matchup, and he was carted to the locker room shortly after. It's not yet clear whether the 2015 second-rounder will be forced to miss additional time, but the Broncos have a short week ahead of Thursday's game against Indianapolis.

  • Questionable to return

    Gregory is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Raiders due to a knee injury, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Analysis: Gregory racked up two tackles (one solo) to begin Sunday's matchup, but he sustained a knee injury late in the fourth quarter. If he's unable to return, Nik Bonitto will likely see increased playing time.

  • Notches another sack

    Gregory tallied three tackles and a sack in Sunday's 11-10 win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: Gregory had one of four takedowns of 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as Denver moved to 2-1 on the season. After signing a five-year, $70 million deal in the offseason, Gregory has thus far provided the pass-rushing lift the Broncos anticipated with two sacks, two forced fumbles and six quarterback pressures through three games.

  • Records first sack of 2022

    Gregory registered three tackles (two solo), one sack and one forced fumble during Sunday's 16-9 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: After Davis Mills completed back-to-back 20-yard passes in the fourth quarter, Gregory got into the backfield for a strip sack on the ensuing play, but Houston retained possession. The 2015 second-round pick got off to a slow start with his new squad, but he wreaked havoc on the Texans defense throughout Week 2 (three QB hits, one TFL and one sack). Gregory will look to continue his strong play against the 49ers on Sunday night.

  • Active Sunday

    Gregory (shoulder) will play Sunday against the Texans, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gregory has been dealing with a shoulder injury since before the season started. He was active Week 1, but he was limited to just 23 snaps, and then he finished this week with limited practices. However, he'll suit up Sunday and should draw the start at weakside linebacker.

  • Deemed questionable for Sunday

    Gregory (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was active for the season opener, but he played just 23 snaps and landed back on the injury report Wednesday as a non-participant. He returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday and will have a shot at suiting up in Week 2. Even if he plays, it's possible the veteran linebacker is limited against Houston as he continues to work his way back from the rotator cuff surgery he had in March.

  • Will play Monday

    Gregory (shoulder) is active Monday against the Seahawks, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was able to log limited practices throughout the week leading up to the game. The 29-year-old started camp on the PUP list, as he recovered from a rotator cuff procedure he had in March. Gregory should draw the start at weak-side linebacker.

  • Likely to play against Seahawks

    Gregory (shoulder) is expected to play Monday at Seattle, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Gregory logged three consecutive limited practices in the week leading up to Denver's season opener, but it sounds like he'll probably be ready to go by game time. He should get some solid opportunities to pursue Geno Smith, but Nik Bonitto and Aaron Patrick are presumable candidates to fill in if Gregory is on a snap count or ends up sitting out after all.

  • Considered questionable

    Gregory (shoulder) is officially questionable for Monday's Week 1 game against the Seahawks, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official website reports.

    Analysis: Gregory drew the questionable designation following three consecutive limited practices. Thus, he is looking like a true game-time decision. Nik Bonitto and Aaron Patrick would be candidates to see snaps in Gregory's place should he ultimately have to sit out.

    Gregory (shoulder) is expected to be a full participant at Tuesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was activated off the PUP list in mid-August but returned to practice in a limited fashion. However, he appears to be ramping up his activity before Sunday's season-opening showdown with Seattle, though Wednesday's official practice report should give a better indication of his availability for Week 1. Across his past three seasons in Dallas, Gregory totaled 15.5 sacks across 36 appearances, and if he's healthy, he'll look to make a strong first impression with his new squad to start…read more

  • Activated off active/PUP list

    The Broncos activated Gregory (shoulder) off the active/PUP list Monday, and he returned to practice in a limited fashion, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gregory began training camp on the PUP list after undergoing offseason surgery to mend an issue with his rotator cuff. Given he's returning to practice as a limited participant, he'll likely have a ramp-up period before he's cleared for game action. However, he appears to still be on track to make his Broncos debut during Week 1 of the regular season. Over his last three healthy seasons in Dallas, Gregory totaled 15.5 sacks across 36 appearances.

    Gregory (shoulder) will begin training camp on Denver's active/PUP list, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Apparently, Gregory still hasn't recovered fully from the surgery he underwent in March to mend an issue with his rotator cuff. There's still no concrete timetable for his return, but his absence from the first few days of camp may be precautionary with the aim to get him healthy before Week 1.

    Gregory (shoulder) is still on track to return in time for training camp, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

    Analysis: Gregory has yet to participate in Denver's offseason program as he is still rehabbing from an arthroscopic procedure undergone in March to address a rotator cuff issue in his shoulder. The former Cowboy defensive end, who signed a five-year, $70 million deal with Denver in March, should return to action by late July when the team's training camp begins.

    Analysis: Evidently the defensive end's looming agreement with Dallas hit a snag and the 29-year-old is instead in line to head to Denver, where he'll bolster his new team's pass rush. In 12 games with the Cowboys last season, Gregory recorded 19 tackles, six sacks and three forced fumbles.

    Gregory (knee) signed a five-year, $70 million contract with the Cowboys on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Gregory's contract, which includes $28 million guaranteed, comes just one day after DeMarcus Lawrence agreed to a three-year deal of his own with Dallas. The two transactions combine to keep the Cowboys' key pass-rush core intact. Coming off a season in which he tied his career-high mark with six sacks through 12 appearances, Gregory's focus will now turn toward recovering from left knee surgery undergone late January. He appears on track for the start of offseason workouts.

  • Activated from injured reserve

    Gregory (calf) was officially activated from injured reserve and will play in Sunday's contest against Washington, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: After missing the past four games with a calf injury, Gregory will be back in the lineup Sunday after he was activated off injured reserve. This is a huge addition to a Dallas defense that has already been playing well. Prior to his injury, the veteran pass rusher had five sacks on the season through only nine games.

  • Returns to practice Wednesday

    Gregory (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gregory's return to practice will begin the 21-day window for him to be added to the active roster. However, there is optimism that he could be able to return as soon as Sunday. The 2015 second-round pick hasn't played since Week 9, but he's recorded five sacks in just seven games this season. His return would be a big boost to the Cowboys' pass rush.

  • Could be back Week 14

    Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday there's a "real good chance" Gregory (calf) could be available versus Washington in Week 14, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys haven't yet designated Gregory for a return from IR, but it looks like such a transaction could be coming soon. A calf injury has forced Gregory to miss the last four contests.

  • Won't return Thursday

    Gregory (calf) won't play in Thursday's game against the Saints, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Although Gregory remains on injured reserve, he made an appearance at Monday's practice session to work with the team's rehabilitation staff. The Cowboys are hopeful that the defensive end will be able to return for the Week 14 matchup against Washington on Dec. 12.

  • Placed on IR

    Gregory (calf) has officially been placed on the Cowboys' injured reserve, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gregory will now miss at least the team's next three games. The absence will put a hault to his breakout campaign, but he will now focus on recovering for the closing stretch of the regular season. Dorance Armstrong will presumably see an increased workload as a result of his trip to the IR, while Micah Parsons could see even more usage as an edge rusher.

  • Could hit IR with calf strain

    Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said Gregory strained his calf during Wednesday's practice and will likely need multiple weeks of recovery time, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports. "He is having a heck of the year...he'll attack the rehab just like he has attacked everything else," McCarthy said of Gregory.

    Analysis: Dallas now looks like it will be without its top two defensive ends for the foreseeable future, as McCarthy hinted that Gregory could be a candidate to join DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) on short-term injured reserve. A stint on IR would rule Gregory out for at least three games, but if the Cowboys elect not to deactivate him, a two-week absence could be a more likely outcome. Regardless, the calf injury is an unfortunate setback for Gregory, who is in the midst of a breakout campaign with 10…read more

  • Two more sacks Sunday

    Gregory recorded three tackles, including two sacks, in Sunday's overtime win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old has had a long, tough road to get to this point, but Gregory is emerging as a legitimate pass-rushing threat this season. He has four sacks in the last three games, and once DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) is able to return from IR, the opposition won't even have the luxury of devoting extra bodies to trying to slow Gregory down. His previous career high is six sacks, set over 14 games in 2018, but he seems likely to blow past that mark fairly quickly on the other side of the Cowboys'…read more

    Gregory (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old defensive end was a limited participant in practice all week while contending with the injury. Gregory recorded three tackles and two sacks against the Panthers in Week 4, but he's otherwise delivered one stop and one fumble recovery across the other three games he's played in 2021.

  • Deemed questionable

    Gregory (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: No surprises here, as Gregory was a limited participant at practice all week. His backup, Dorance Armstrong (ankle), has been ruled out, so Chauncey Golston and Bradlee Anae would be next in line to replace him at defensive end should he end up not being able to suit up.

    Gregory (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gregory has been listed as questionable for the last two weeks with a knee injury. However, he doesn't seem especially limited by the issue, as he racked up two sacks and three total tackles in Week 4 against Carolina.

    Gregory (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Despite being listed as questionable for a second straight week, Gregory is expected to suit up for Week 5. The 28-year-old defensive end notched two sacks in Week 4, and he should have another advantageous matchup against the Giants' depleted offensive line.

    Coach Mike McCarthy said that Gregory (knee) is expected to play Sunday despite being listed as questionable, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was listed as questionable ahead of Week 4 as well, but he was able to suit up and recorded his first two sacks of the season. If the 28-year-old is able to suit up for Week 5, he should garner an advantageous matchup against the Giants' depleted offensive line.

  • Racks up first two sacks

    Gregory recorded three tackles, including two sacks, and four QB hits in Sunday's win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: After quiet showings in Weeks 1 and 3 (only one total tackle) sandwiched around a COVID-19 absence, Gregory led the charge Sunday for a Cowboys pass rush that produced five sacks and 11 hits on Sam Darnold. The Dallas defense as a whole has looked much improved through the first month of the season, but Gregory still has a ways to go to be considered a viable IDP option heading into a Week 5 clash with the Giants.

  • Questionable but expected to play

    Gregory (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers but is expected to suit up, Jon Mochota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was listed as a limited participant on Friday's practice estimate after sitting out Thursday, but the team expects him to take the field come Sunday. He missed a game due to a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this season and has produced just one tackle over the other two games combined, so Gregory has largely been a nonfactor for the improved Dallas defense.

  • Comes off COVID-19 list

    The Cowboys activated Gregory (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.

    Analysis: Gregory tested positive for COVID-19 last Monday, which kept him away from the Cowboys for their Week 2 win against the Chargers. Coach Mike McCarthy told Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News that Gregory was slated to return to team facilities Wednesday, and one day later Dallas made the move to get him back on the active roster. With the pass-rush unit in need of reinforcements due to multiple injuries, Gregory is a key addition in advance of Monday's game versus the Eagles.

  • Will be back Wednesday

    Coach Mike McCarthy said Monday that Gregory (illness) will be back at team facilities Wednesday after missing Sunday's game with COVID-19, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gregory tested positive for the virus but was asymptomatic. However, he was still unable to join the team for Sunday's win over the Chargers. The starting defensive end back in the building is great news for the Cowboys as they are already without DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) for an extended period of time. The 28-year-old recorded one tackle and one fumble recovery during the season opener against the Bucs.

    Gregory (illness) remains in the COVID-19 protocol and is doubtful to play Sunday against the Chargers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gregory tested positive for the virus Monday but was asymptomatic. However, coach Mike McCarthy revealed Thursday that the defensive end hasn't yet been cleared to rejoin the team. If Gregory is ultimately held out, Dorance Armstrong will likely take on a starting role, with Tarell Basham also starting with DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) sidelined.

    The Cowboys placed Gregory (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list after he tested positive for the virus Monday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gregory is asymptomatic, so he will have to produce two consecutive negative tests -- 24 hours apart -- to clear protocols ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chargers. The 28-year-old registered one tackle and one fumble recovery in the season opener against Tampa Bay.

  • Absent from injury report

    Gregory (foot) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gregory was battling a foot injury in mid-August but was able to get fully healthy over the past few weeks. The 28-year-old totaled 21 tackles (19 solo), 3.5 sacks and three forced fumbles in 10 games last season, and he should play a significant role in Dallas' defensive front in 2021.

  • Nursing foot issue

    Gregory didn't travel with the team for Friday's preseason game against the Cardinals as he deals with a foot injury, DallasCowboys.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Mike McCarthy indicated Saturday that the defensive end was one of a group of banged-up players sent back to Dallas for rest and treatment rather than make the trip to Arizona. The issue doesn't seem to be serious, giving Gregory a chance to suit up for the Cowboys' third preseason game against the Texans on Aug. 21.

  • Shows flashes in second half

    Gregory recorded 21 tackles (15 solo) with 3.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and a pass defended over 10 games in 2020.

    Analysis: All of Gregory's sacks came in two games, Week 12 against Washington and Week 16 against Philly. Given how much development time the 28-year-old has missed over the years due to his various suspensions, Gregory delivered a fairly impressive effort once he was reinstated. With a normal offseason ahead of him and one more year remaining on his current contract, he could emerge in 2021 as the pass-rushing bookend the Cowboys desperately need opposite DeMarcus Lawrence.

  • Looks dominant in win

    Gregory recorded six tackles (three solo) including 1.5 sacks, while adding one pass defended and another tackle for a loss in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: He was a constant presence in the Philly backfield when he was on the field, whether on passing or running plays, and Gregory is showing signs of developing into an every-down defender rather than simply a pass-rush specialist. The 28-year-old has 3.5 sacks through nine games this season, and he'll set his sights on taking down Daniel Jones in Week 17's clash against the Giants.

  • Adds two sacks in loss

    Gregory notched three solo tackles and a pair of sacks in Thursday's 41-16 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Gregory was forced to leave Thursday's contest briefly after being poked in the eye, but he returned from the minor issue and remained a positive force along the Cowboys' defensive line. He'll look to add to his sack total in Week 13 against the Ravens.

    Gregory (eye) has returned to Thursday's matchup against Washington, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Gregory's return to the lineup constitutes a boon for the Cowboys defense, as the 28-year-old recorded two sacks during the first half. The Nebraska product has been playing inspired football on Thanksgiving after failing to collect a single sack over his first four appearances of 2020. He has himself in the mix for Player of the Game honors and first dibs at a turkey leg if able to keep up his impressive effort.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old notched his first sack since 2018 Thursday, getting to Alex Smith for a first-quarter takedown. After being poked in the eye, however, it's unclear whether Gregory will be able to make it back onto the field for the remainder of the Thanksgiving showdown. Depth at defensive end would be depleted in his absence, as Justin Hamilton is the only other backup readily available at the position.

    Gregory (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, is expected to play Week 11, barring any setbacks prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Though the illness resulted in Gregory managing only one limited practice Wednesday through Friday, he continued to test negative for COVID-19 throughout the week. Now that he's seemingly moved past whatever was ailing him, Gregory should be ready to handle his normal role in Dallas' defensive end rotation.

    Analysis: Illness has beset multiple Cowboys defensive ends, as DeMarcus Lawrence sat out Thursday's session for the same reason. The report from McCarthy downplaying concerns over COVID-19 offers reason for optimism, as Gregory will not automatically be shelved for Sunday's upcoming game against the Vikings. Gregory appeared in each of the Cowboys' three outings immediately preceding the team's Week 10 bye, collecting six tackles and no sacks.

    Analysis: Gregory was reinstated to the NFL in early September, and he's been practicing with the team for two weeks now. The 27-year-old defensive end could make his first NFL appearance since 2018 against Washington on Sunday. The Nebraska product piled up six sacks over 14 games in 2018, and he could provide a pass-rushing boost since the Cowboys have recorded just 11 sacks through six contests.

Monday marked the first day of COVID testing, after which he can work out at the team facility, eventually be able to practice Oct. 5 and finally suit up Week 7 at Washington on Oct. 25.

With a new CBA in place, however, Gregory is expected to return to the Cowboys' lineup once commissioner Roger Goodell officially reinstates him.

    Gregory (suspension) will petition for NFL reinstatement soon, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The new collective bargaining agreement has a more lenient substance abuse policy, though it doesn't apply to players like Gregory who already are serving indefinite suspensions. The 27-year-old has been suspended four times during his pro career, thus limited to 28 games since the Cowboys selected him in Round 2 of the 2015 NFL Draft. If he's reinstated, Gregory could provide the team with some badly needed help at defensive end after Robert Quinn bolted for Chicago last week.
