Back from suspension, DE Randy Gregory set to practice; how much can he help Cowboys?

FRISCO -- Randy Gregory could be arriving just in time for the Cowboys.

The second-year defensive end is expected to practice with his teammates Thursday for the first time in almost a year.

Cowboys right-side defense end DeMarcus Lawrence didn't play last week because of a sore back. Tyrone Crawford, who starts on the opposite side, walked around the locker room Wednesday with his left shoulder wrapped.

It's the time of year where any NFL team needs a boost. But how much can Gregory help the Cowboys off such a long layoff?

"Oh man, he's been looking real good," Crawford said.
