FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas defensive end Randy Gregory is facing a longer suspension over another violation of the NFLs substance-abuse policy, and owner Jerry Jones says he doesnt expect to see the troubled player at training camp in California.With Gregory already suspended for the first four games this season, Jones said Wednesday that the Cowboys havent heard from the league about a possible 10-game ban for another failed drug test.A day after reports that Gregory was in rehab, Jones acknowledged that the former Nebraska standout was undergoing treatment.Its very disappointing, Jones told reporters during an event at the teams new headquarters in the Dallas suburb of Frisco.But it does point out the difficulty you have with addiction. And there is no question he needs the kind of help and care he is getting right now.Considered one of the best pass rushers in the 2015 draft, Gregory slid to the Cowboys at the end of the second round after he tested positive for marijuana at the NFL combine. His first suspension was announced in February.Gregory played 12 games without a sack as a rookie, missing four games early in the season with a sprained right ankle. He participated in all the offseason workouts despite the suspension, and would still be eligible to participate in camp and preseason games even with a 10-game suspension.But Jones essentially said football wasnt Gregorys top priority at the moment. The Cowboys fly to California on Thursday, and the first camp practice is Saturday.We are first and foremost interested in how he can basically address his addiction and get to where he can function in society first and then look to be a football player second, said Jones, who also said the Cowboys had already decided they couldnt count on Gregory in 2016.Gregory has been listed as a starter alongside third-year player DeMarcus Lawrence, another young defensive end serving a four-game suspension to start the season for a substance-abuse violation. Linebacker Rolando McClain is banned for 10 games for the same reason.Jones said he hasnt given up on Gregory, or on the idea of taking risks in the draft.Its an individual thing, individual treatment, Jones said. We have got some good cases that have rewarded us. That is just part of it.Jones said he expects Ezekiel Elliott to report for training camp a week after the rookie running back denied allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend, causing bruises and abrasions.Elliott wasnt arrested or charged. The fourth overall pick out of Ohio State told police in Columbus, Ohio, that the woman was injured in a bar fight. Witnesses told police they didnt see Elliott assault the woman.A day after coach Jason Garrett said McClain would be at camp, executive vice president of personnel Stephen Jones said that issue was a work in progress.---Online:AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLWholesale Nike Shoes China .

PAUL, Minn.TROON, Scotland -- One thing I love about The Open is how the tournament is always dictated by Mother Nature, and no matter how many players score well on benign days, theres never any panic or worry. Golf is never easy, but for the best in the world on Thursday those friendly conditions meant there will be no curve in grades.Jason DayGrade: F World ranking:?No. 1 Score: 73 (+2)Not quite sure what happened to his iron game, but for the best player in the world to have the worst score of everyone in the top 10 by two is not acceptable. He hit just 56 percent of greens in regulation and 31 putts in the best conditions we may see all week.Dustin JohnsonGrade: C World ranking: No. 2 Score: 71 (E)In most cases, even par should be an OK score, but not on days like today where scoring was possible. DJ only hit 8 fairways and had 32 putts; thats unacceptable for the new U.S. Open champion on a day as perfect as Thursday.Jordan SpiethGrade: C World ranking:?No. 3 Score: 71 (E)Just like DJ, but with one more putt (33). On a day with such little wind, its hard to accept missing six fairways. Jordan has now put a lot of undue pressure on performing great in the coming rounds in what could be very challenging conditions.Rory McIlroyGrade: C+ World ranking:?No. 4 Score: 69 (-2)I really wanted to give Rory a B, but the double bogey at the 13th hole prevents me from doing so. Five birdies on a day when he only hit 11 GIRs says his putter is in the right place. Now all he needs is the driver and irons to fall in line.Bubba WatsonGrade: C World ranking: No. 5 Score: 70 (-1)This was the toughest grade to give because Bubbas day and momentum was ruined by one hole. It happened to be the shortest, most famous one on the course: Postage Stamp. He was 5-under when he got there and 2-under when he left, and had to birdie the final hole to shoot a sub-par round.Henrik StensonGrade: B World ranking:?No. 6 Score: 68 (-3)Everyone says at Royal Troon you better take advantage of the front nine; Stenson didnt. He made an eagle on the 6th hole, but that was it. Three birdies on the back to offset two bogeys seem good, but he can improve. Thirty one putts on the day let you know there were plenty of chances he let slip by.Rickie FowlerGrade: B World ranking:?No. 7 Score: 69 (-2)This was just a good, solid round of golf. Start with the 29 putts and factor in that Rickie only hit 12 of 18 greens yet recorded just one bogey. Only making two birdies on the froont nine means he can score much better if the weather allows it.dddddddddddddam ScottGrade: B World ranking:?No. 8 Score: 69 (-2)If only that putter would get hot. Adam only missed two greens all day yet could only manage one birdie on the simpler front nine. While a 2-under score looks/is good in the big picture of a major, the truth is it could have been much better.Danny WillettGrade: C World ranking: No. 9 Score: 71 (E)The Masters champion would be forgiven for making a bogey at one of the toughest holes on the course during the stretch of 10-12. What I dont forgive is bogeying all of them! That hard work Danny did for the three birdies he made on the front nine was undone quickly. Righting the ship after those bogeys was definitely a major champion move. The question I ask is, which way will he go from here?Branden GraceGrade: C+ World ranking: No. 10 Score: 70 (-1)By leading the field in scrambles -- Grace got up and down eight times on Thursday -- he salvaged what could have been a very bad day like a top-10 player should. If I told you a player would only hit 50 percent of GIRs but would shoot under par for the day, youd probably ask exactly how low Phil went.Phil MickelsonGrade: A+ World ranking:19 Score: 63 (-8)Bogey-free 63. Rhymes like the beginning of a good song about a course without a tree. Phil only missed three fairways and two greens all day while totaling only 26 putts! When Phil said last Sunday that he was ready for this week, he certainly wasnt lying. Im still trying to figure out how the putt on 18 didnt drop for a major-record 62.Tony FinauGrade: A World ranking:83 Score: 67 (-4)Look at the leaderboard and there are not many players who, even with good scores, were bogey free. This bogey-free round came from a guy who ranked third in driving distance at a whopping 330 yards, but he hit only eight fairways! When it mattered on the four greens he missed, he scrambled perfectly.Scott PiercyGrade: F World ranking:25 Score: 77 (+6)So much for any momentum built from coming off back-to-back runner-up finishes. Piercy got to the 9th hole (ranked 11th easiest) at 2-under and proceeded to go bogey-double-double-double-bogey. Seems the sun was shining on everyone on the course except Piercy. He just got on the Ryder Cup radar; Friday will be a big test to see if he can stay there. ' ' '
