Randy Gregory is preparing to apply for reinstatement to the NFL, according to Jerry Jones.

The Dallas Cowboys are hopeful, but not confident that the defensive end will play in 2018.

"I'm not confident but I do see where his heart is," Jones said. "He's one of the smartest people that have played this game. By documentation he is. So he's smart. That's a tremendous step. Of course he's had that same IQ since he's had these issues. That's the issues. This is definitely a medical issue. There's no doubt in my mind (it's) medical. That's another campaign right there."

Gregory has had multiple violations of the NFL's substance-abuse policy when it comes to marijuana. A combination of failed and missed tests caused his season-long suspension in 2017.

He is eligible to apply for reinstatement and has been meeting what Jones called "subjective," and "factual" standards in the process.

Allen Hurns has agreed to sign with the Dallas Cowboys.

“I’m going to sign with Dallas,” said Hurns.

Hurns caught 39 balls for 484 yards and two touchdowns in 2017 over 10 games.

The NFL says that recent controversial plays involving Dez Bryant and Jesse James would have been catches under the league's new rules.

Al Riveron, the head of officiating, tweeted that Bryant's non-catch in the 2014 playoffs and James' non-catch against the New England Patriots this past season would have been complete under the new catch guidelines.

The Dallas Cowboys have saved $3 million against the salary cap by releasing Orlando Scandrick.

The veteran cornerback will count $1.6 million against the cap in 2019. The Cowboys will not receive the $3 million credit until June.

Scandrick requested his release, according to sources. He was expected to visit with the Washington Redskins on Sunday.

He was a fifth-round pick of Dallas in 2008.

Jerry Jones has reimbursed the NFL for more than $2 million in legal fees.

"After a hearing with the Commissioner and the Finance Committee, the matter of the reimbursement of legal fees has been resolved to the satisfaction of all parties," the NFL said.

The NFL sought the reimbursement of the legal fees that were incurred in Ezekiel Elliott's fight of a six-game suspension and in the threat of a lawsuit to block Goodell's contract extension.
