FRISCO, Texas -- When the Dallas Cowboys open training camp next week in Oxnard, California, defensive end Randy Gregory will be available to practice.
Gregory has been reinstated by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after missing 30 of the last 32 regular-season games for multiple violations of the league's substance-abuse policy.
Gregory went through rehabilitation, held a job and put his life in order during his time away from the Cowboys. He met with Goodell last month in New York as part of the reinstatement process and his legal team, led by attorney Daniel Mokowitz, supplied the league a vast array of test results, recommendations and personal letters from teammates Sean Lee, Tyrone Crawford and Jeff Heath.
