According to Slater, Cowboys LB Sean Lee was among the teammates offering character statements and testified that Gregory has earned another opportunity.

Slater says that sources close to the situation have said that Gregory has passed “a number of drug tests” over the past few years and has spent over six weeks in intensive drug and alcohol rehabilitation in the hope of being reinstated.
