Randy Gregory makes a different kind of play, earns early camp exit

Rookie pass-rusher Randy Gregory keeps making plays that make the Cowboys smile.

But Thursday, it wasn’t a sack or a pressure.

Via Charean Williams of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Gregory bought the team an early departure from training camp by successfully fielding a punt. Coach Jason Garrett told his players they’d break early if one of the six linemen he chose could catch one (although we can’t imagine he’d have unloaded the planes and stayed an extra day if they didn’t).

“I had to step up, catch one for the team, send us back home,” Gregory said.
