Report: Former Cowboys star undergoes shoulder scope

The Dallas Cowboys recently lost one of their star pass rushers in a wild series of events, but based on a report that emerged on Tuesday, Randy Gregory just had a significant medical procedure.

According to Ian Rapoport, both Dallas and Denver knew about this when the deal was inked.

When Randy Gregory’s contract was executed, there was a waiver for his shoulder. Thus, the surgery. https://t.co/ZZ1qAp77cz

As reported by Mike Klis, Randy Gregory, the Broncos’ newly acquired $14 million-a-year pass rusher, recently underwent an arthroscopic procedure on his rotator cuff, a source told 9NEWS.

Gregory will spend the off-season program rehabbing his shoulder with the expectation of being ready for the start of the season. While there were conservative treatment options, Gregory and the Broncos decided when he was signed that the scope procedure will give him the best chance of playing a full season without any discomfort.

There was a ton of banter from Dallas Cowboys fans when the wild series of events unfolded that reportedly boiled down to a bizarre clause in Gregory’s contract, it’s fair to wonder if people within the organization knew more about the injury and it played a part in the decision.
