Randy Gregory is eligible to play Sunday against Kansas City after all.
The Denver outside linebacker had his one-game suspension overturned Tuesday night, the NFL announced.
Gregory was originally suspended one game without pay for a post-game altercation with Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Oday Aboushi in which Gregory threw a punch and then got punched back. On Tuesday, however, appeals officers Derrick Brooks and James Thrash, appointed jointly by the NFL and the NFL Players Association, reduced the penalties for both players from suspensions to fines of $50,000 for Gregory and $12,000 for Aboushi. The determination was announced on social media by NFL senior vice president of football and international communications Michael Signora.
Most of Gregory’s income this year came in the form of a signing bonus, so the $50,000 fine means he will miss most of his game check for Sunday’s contest at Kansas City. He will be eligible to play, however.
