Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory – already suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy – has had another violation and is facing a longer suspension, according to ESPN.

ESPN is also reporting that the 2015 second-round pick will check into a rehab facility and won’t be joining the Cowboys at training camp.

Gregory, who played college football at Nebraska, was expected to be a top-10 draft pick before he tested positive for marijuana at the 2015 NFL Combine. After the Combine, he revealed that he failed two drug tests in his final year with the Cornhuskers.

Gregory, 23, played in 12 games as a rookie and did not record a sack.

Randy Gregory had another violation of NFL’s substance abuse policy and is now facing a longer suspension, sources tell @toddarcher and me.
