The league announced on Tuesday that Gregory has been suspended indefinitely for violation of the league's substance abuse policy. This is Gregory's fourth suspension since being drafted by the Cowboys in 2015.
Gregory was suspended four games in his rookie season and while serving the suspension was suspended for an additional 10 games resulting in him playing in just two games in 2016. He was suspended the entire 2017 season before making a successful return in 2018.
Last season Gregory finished second in sacks behind DeMarcus Lawrence. There was hope he had finally turned the corner in his life.
Gregory has been outspoken about suffering with mental illness and using marijuana to cope with mental and emotional problems. Gregory reportedly suffers from bipolar disorder. With the NFL's strict stance against marijuana this has been a difficult issue for Gregory to deal with.
Cowboys are standing behind the 25-year old talent and hopeful he can make a return in 2019. "We’re going to keep working and cheering for him. I think he’s just got to take the next step both on and off the field," vice president Stephen Jones said.
