The Buccaneers released Gregory (personal) on Sunday, Grant Gordon of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gregory failed to report to training camp in late July, which prompted Tampa Bay to place the veteran pass rusher on the reserve/did not report list. Head coach Todd Bowles said Sunday that he never received a reason for Gregory's absence, though the 2015 second-rounder continues to be involved in a discrimination lawsuit against the NFL due to a $500,000 fine he received in 2023 for the use of THC. Gregory appeared in 12 regular-season games for the 49ers last season and registered 11 tackles (10 solo), including 2.5 sacks.

Tampa Bay placed Gregory of the reserve/did not report list Tuesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Buccaneers made the transaction after Gregory wasn't present Tuesday for the first day of training camp. The 31-year-old was also absent from the Buccaneers' three-day minicamp in June, and he currently has an open lawsuit against the NFL and the Broncos for discrimination due to a $500,000 fine he received last season for using THC.

Gregory was not in attendance for minicamp Tuesday, JC Allen reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gregory currently has an open lawsuit against the NFL for discrimination in regard to a $500,000 fine he received last season for using THC, which he was prescribed to treat anxiety and PTSD. The Nebraska product signed a one-year contract with the Bucs in April, and his absence Tuesday was not excused. It's not clear if Gregory will report to minicamp before its end or what his status is for training camp.

Gregory agreed to a one-year deal with the Buccaneers on Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gregory will reunited in Tampa with outside linebackers coach George Edwards, whom the 2015 second-round pick played for while both were with the Cowboys. The addition of the 31-year-old will bolster Tampa Bay's edge rotation, with Gregory coming off a 2023 regular season in which he recorded 20 tackles and 3.5 sacks in 16 games between the Broncos and 49ers.

Gregory (illness) is active for Monday's matchup against the Ravens, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gregory was added to the injury report Sunday with an illness and was given a questionable designation, but the aliment won't prevent him from suiting up. Over his last four appearances, Gregory has recorded three tackles and one sack while playing a rotational role.

Gregory (illness) is now questionable for Monday's game against the Ravens, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gregory was able to practice all week, but the veteran is now under the weather, putting his status for Week 16 in question. If he's unable to play, it'll be a blow to the 49ers' depth on the edge but will create extra opportunities for Robert Beal and Clelin Ferrell.

Gregory won't be available to play for San Francisco on Sunday versus Dallas, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 49ers acquired Gregory in a trade with the Broncos on Friday, but the veteran edge rusher won't get a chance to show off his skills for his new team until Week 6. The addition of Gregory should bolster a San Francisco pass rush that already features reigning NFL DPOY Nick Bosa.

Gregory was traded to San Francisco on Friday along with a 2024 seventh-round draft pick, while Denver received a 2024 sixth-round pick in return, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gregory was expected to be released imminently, but the Broncos managed to find a trade suitor instead to get out from under some of his five-year, $70 million contract. He's struggled to stay on the field since signing that contract in the 2022 offseason, but the 30-year-old edge rusher could make San Francisco's vaunted defense even more fearsome if he can stay healthy. He has just one sack through four games in 2023 but recorded six sacks in both 2018 and 2021.

Coach Sean Payton noted Wednesday that Gregory will be released if he's not traded within the next 24 to 48 hours, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

Per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post, Payton cited the play of the Broncos' younger players as the reason that the team plans to move on from Gregory. In four games this season, Gregory has recorded nine tackles and a sack.

The Broncos are expected to release Gregory on Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.

EDGE Analysis

Denver will cut Gregory lose after he was bypassed for the start at outside linebacker in the Week 4 win over the Bears in favor of Nik Bonitto. Gregory still played 47 percent of the snaps on defense and totaled three tackles, but the Broncos seem inclined to increase Bonitto's role after he tallied four tackles and 2.5 sacks in the win over Chicago. Gregory signed a five-year, $70 million contract with Denver last offseason, but he was held back by injuries in 2022 and will move on from the Broncos having accrued just three sacks over 10 total games with the club.
