Gregory was practicing with the team Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Gregory finished the 2022 campaign on injured reserve due to a knee injury. However, it appears the 30-year-old is now fully healed and ready to compete. A healthy Gregory, who missed a total of 11 games last season, would be a major boon for the Broncos' defense moving forward.

Broncos' Randy Gregory: Done for season
Rotowire
Gregory (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
That now makes 21 Broncos placed on injured reserve to start the season, easily the most in the NFL. The 29-year-old played in just six games this season, as Gregory also was placed on injured reserve earlier this year after undergoing surgery to trim his meniscus. He ends the 2022 season with just two sacks and 19 total sacks, hardly figures expected after he joined the franchise on a five-year, $70 million deal this offseason.

Broncos' Randy Gregory: Will be game-time decision Sunday
Rotowire
Coach Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Gregory (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Rams, with his status likely to come down to a game-time decision, George Stoia III of The Denver Gazette reports.
Gregory hasn't practiced all week due to a sore knee, but he apparently still has a chance of suiting up Sunday. Given that he returned to action for last week's win over the Cardinals after missing the previous 10 games while recovering from surgery to address a meniscus injury to his right knee, it's probably more likely than not that the Broncos hold him out Christmas Day as a precaution.

Rotowire
Broncos coach Nathaniel Hackett said Gregory did not practice Thursday due to knee soreness, Jeff Legwold of ESPN.com reports.
Gregory was sidelined on IR for nine games after he underwent surgery for an injured meniscus, but he was activated Week 15 and played 20 defensive snaps during Sunday's win over the Broncos. However, it appears he's still not fully healthy after sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday with knee soreness. Hackett also said Thursday that he hope Gregory will be able to play in Sunday's game against the Rams, according to Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com, though the defensive end's status on Friday's final injury report will provide a more definitive outlook on his availability.

Broncos' Randy Gregory: Will be active vs. Arizona
Rotowire
Denver activated Gregory (knee) from its injured reserve list Saturday ahead of Sunday's game versus the Cardinals, Ben Swanson of the Broncos' official site reports.
After missing Denver's last nine games recovering from a surgery for a meniscus injury he underwent after Week 4, Gregory appears poised to play in Week 15. He'll probably be eased back into action, but he should eventually provide a big boost to a Broncos defense that was already playing very well.

Broncos' Randy Gregory: Set for MRI
Rotowire
Gregory (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his injury, Jeff Legwold of ESPN reports.
Gregory suffered a right knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Raiders and he will now have a greater understanding of his status moving forward after Monday's MRI. The 29-year-old has produced nine tackles, including two sacks, while also forcing two fumbles over the first four games of the season. If he's forced to miss any time, Nik Bonitto stands to garner an increase in snaps at weak-side linebacker.

Rotowire
Gregory (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Texans, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Gregory was active for the season opener, but he played just 23 snaps and landed back on the injury report Wednesday as a non-participant. He returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday and will have a shot at suiting up in Week 2.

Broncos' Randy Gregory: Will practice in full Tuesday
Rotowire
Gregory (shoulder) is expected to be a full participant at Tuesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Gregory was activated off the PUP list in mid-August but returned to practice in a limited fashion. However, he appears to be ramping up his activity before Sunday's season-opening showdown with Seattle, though Wednesday's official practice report should give a better indication of his availability for Week 1. Across his past three seasons in Dallas, Gregory totaled 15.5 sacks across 36 appearances, and if he's healthy, he'll look to make a strong first impression with his new squad to start the 2022 campaign.

Broncos' Randy Gregory: Activated off active/PUP list
Rotowire
The Broncos activated Gregory (shoulder) off the active/PUP list Monday, and he returned to practice in a limited fashion, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
Gregory began training camp on the PUP list after undergoing offseason surgery to mend an issue with his rotator cuff. Given he's returning to practice as a limited participant, he'll likely have a ramp-up period before he's cleared for game action. However, he appears to still be on track to make his Broncos debut during Week 1 of the regular season. Over his last three healthy seasons in Dallas, Gregory totaled 15.5 sacks across 36 appearances.

Cowboys' Randy Gregory: Racks up first two sacks
Rotowire
Gregory recorded three tackles, including two sacks, and four QB hits in Sunday's win over the Panthers.
After quiet showings in Weeks 1 and 3 (only one total tackle) sandwiched around a COVID-19 absence, Gregory led the charge Sunday for a Cowboys pass rush that produced five sacks and 11 hits on Sam Darnold. The Dallas defense as a whole has looked much improved through the first month of the season, but Gregory still has a ways to go to be considered a viable IDP option heading into a Week 5 clash with the Giants.
