Cowboys DE Randy Gregory expected to play in Sept. 9 opener

OXNARD, Calif. -- Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said he expects Randy Gregory to be able to contribute to the defensive line rotation when the Dallas Cowboys open the season against the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 9.

"Yes, I do," Jones said after Gregory went through team drills for the first time in training camp Sunday.

Gregory missed all of last season because of suspension and has played in just two of the last 32 regular-season games because of multiple violations of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He has not played in a regular-season game since the 2016 finale against the Philadelphia Eagles in which he recorded the only sack of his career.
