Randy Gregory just had his appeal and reduced from 10 games to 4. Unless Jerruh paid off the league it is good news for Lane.

That's not what happened. Gregory was already suspended for the first 4 games of the season, but the league tried to suspend him for another 10 games--making it 14 games in total, arguing that because he went into rehab after he failed a second test, shortly after he failed the first. The union apparently argued that a second test failure so soon after a first should be part of the same violation, given how long pot stays in the system. Apparently the arbitrators agreed so Johnson is still on track for a 10 game suspension.

It remains unclear when Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory will be back on the field in 2016.
On Saturday, Gregory found out that his four-game suspension for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse became official. However, Gregory is still appealing his 10-game suspension for another substance abuse violation, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport on Sunday.
The 23-year-old Gregory enrolled into a treatment program earlier this summer, Rapoport previously reported. The Cowboys placed the pass rusher on the reserve/did not report list before camp. He remains in a treatment program.
EDITOR'S NOTE: An earlier version of this story reported that Gregory had won his 10-game suspension appeal. He is still appealing the suspension.
