Randy Gregory Placed On Reserve/Did Not Report List
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed edge defender Randy Gregory on the reserve/did not report list after he did not report to training camp this week. The veteran signed with Tampa Bay this offseason after spending time with the Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers in 2023, but there is now uncertainty surrounding him. Overall, the 2015 second-round pick has accumulated 106 tackles (78 solo), 22 sacks, 10 forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, one interception, three pass deflections, and 11.5 run stuffs in 60 career games with the 49ers, Broncos, and Cowboys. He's been somewhat productive, but he has been difficult to count on throughout his career.
Free-agent veteran edge defender Randy Gregory is signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report. The 31-year-old spent most of last season with the San Francisco 49ers after being released by the Denver Broncos early in the 2023 campaign, and he now finds a new home in Tampa Bay. Overall, the 2015 second-round pick has accumulated 106 tackles (78 solo), 22 sacks, 10 forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, one interception, three pass deflections, and 11.5 run stuffs in 60 career games with the 49ers, Broncos, and Cowboys. He has not lived up to his hype as a prospect, but he can be utilized as a solid rotational pass rusher. The Buccaneers lost former All-Pro rusher Shaq Barrett this offseason, so Gregory will help fill his role on the edge.
San Francisco 49ers new defensive end Randy Gregory arrived in the Bay Area on Friday to take his physical after being acquired in a trade from the Denver Broncos. He will not be available on Sunday for the Week 5 contest against the Dallas Cowboys and will rejoin the Niners on Monday. The 30-year-old veteran will provide pass-rushing depth for one of the best defenses in the league, but he's unlikely to move the needle in IDP fantasy leagues. Gregory played in just 10 games (six starts) for the Broncos in his two seasons with them, recording 11 solo tackles, three sacks, four tackles for loss, nine QB hits and two forced fumbles.
The Denver Broncos have traded linebacker Randy Gregory and a 2024 seventh-round pick to the San Francisco 49ers for a 2024 sixth-round pick. Originally, the veteran was going to be released, but they never formally did it when it was announced a couple of days ago. Instead, they trade up from the seventh round to the sixth round in the upcoming draft and Gregory is set to see some new scenery. The 30-year-old has collected one sack, nine combined tackles, two tackles for loss, and two QB hits. His two-year tenure in Denver was ultimately a failure, but he could see some more success surrounded by a stacked defense in San Francisco.
The Denver Broncos released linebacker Randy Gregory on Wednesday, according to sources. The Broncos want to focus on younger players on defense, so they have made Gregory a free agent. Gregory signed a five-year, $70 million deal with the Broncos in free agency before last season and ended up playing in 10 total games (six starts) for the team. In those 10 games, the 30-year-old pass-rusher produced only 11 solo tackles, three sacks, four tackles for loss, nine QB hits and two forced fumbles. In four games (three starts) to begin this year, Gregory had nine tackles (four solo) and one sack for the Broncos.
Denver Broncos pass-rusher Randy Gregory (knee), who played in just six games in 2022 due to knee injuries, is doing well this offseason. "Randy is doing well. (We are in) Phase 2, and he's been here," head coach Sean Payton said. "He's in good health. Again, in Phase 2 we're doing a lot of the teaching, but he's doing well and looks good." A bounce-back season for Gregory, the team's top pass-rusher, is extremely important for Denver's defense this year. After Gregory got hurt and Bradley Chubb was traded to Miami in 2022, the Broncos' pass-rush numbers plummeted. Outside of Gregory, the Broncos have few proven pass-rushing commodities heading into the 2023 season, so his health will be worth watching this summer at training camp.
The Denver Broncos officially placed outside linebacker Randy Gregory (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday, so he'll have to miss a minimum of four games after injuring his right knee in the Week 4 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Gregory thankfully doesn't have any damage to his ACL like teammate Javonte Williams, who is out for the rest of the year with a torn ACL and LCL, but he will need to undergo arthroscopic surgery on his meniscus. The 29-year-old could miss anywhere from two to six weeks, so there's no guarantee he'll be ready to play when he's eligible to come off IR. Gregory has two sacks through four games and has been one of the team's best pass-rushers, so it will be a downgrade for Denver's defensive unit heading into their Thursday night matchup this week against the Indianapolis Colts.
Denver Broncos defensive end Randy Gregory (knee) is undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery and will be sidelined anywhere from two to six weeks, depending on how he recovers, according to a source. The good news for Gregory is that his ACL is still intact, so he'll be able to return after a few weeks of rest and recovery. The 29-year-old pass-rusher has been a big force on Denver's defensive line through the first four weeks, compiling two sacks, nine tackles (six solo), seven QB hits and two forced fumbles, so his absence is surely bad news for a Broncos defense that got dominated by the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in their Week 4 loss. The Broncos defense/special teams unit won't be anything more than a low-upside streaming option in Week 5 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Denver Broncos linebacker Randy Gregory (knee) was injured late in the team's Week 4 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and was carted to the locker room. He suffered an apparent knee injury and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity. The 29-year-old recorded two sacks and two forced fumbles through Denver's first three games and had two quarterback hits before going down on Sunday. Without the veteran on the field, the Broncos defense allowed a game-winning rushing touchdown to Josh Jacobs. If Gregory misses significant time, a more prominent role will be available for second-year pro Baron Browning.
The Denver Broncos activated pass-rusher Randy Gregory (shoulder) off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday, according to a source. Gregory had offseason shoulder surgery and was one of the team's big free-agent signings of the offseason. The expectation is that he'll be ready for Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 29-year-old is likely to be eased into training camp practices and preseason games, but barring a setback with his shoulder, he should be ready for the start of the regular season. Gregory is very injury-prone and hasn't played a full season since being taken in the second round of the 2015 draft by the Dallas Cowboys, but he also had 15.5 sacks over the last three years and could be on the IDP radar if he can stay healthy all year.
