IINDIANAPOLIS, IN - FEBRUARY 22: Defensive lineman Randy Gregory of Nebraska competes during the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine at Lucas Oil Stadium on February 22, 2015 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Randy Gregory will be away from the NFL for quite some time.
The league announced Thursday the Dallas Cowboys defensive end has been suspended at least one year for violating the NFL’s Substance Abuse Policy.
Gregory, 24, is effectively banned from the league until the NFL reinstates him. The soonest he would be permitted to apply for reinstatement is November 6, according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
This is the young defenseman’s third suspension in the last year. He previously served a four-game ban to open the 2016 season for his first substance abuse violation and served an additional 10-game suspension for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy for a second time. He also failed the drug test at the NFL Scouting Combine.
