Cowboys’ Michael Gallup: Returns to practice
Michael Gallup (ankle) is returning to practice Saturday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.Gallup needed a few days off after hurting his ankle in practice Tuesday, but he has regained health and is practicing again. With Amari Cooper still sidelined by an ankle injury of his own, Gallup should work as the No. 2 receiver behind CeeDee Lamb in practice for the time being.

Cowboys’ Michael Gallup: Tweaks ankle
Michael Gallup (ankle) won’t practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.The report notes that the wideout tweaked his ankle during Tuesday’s practice, but at this stage, the issue doesn’t seem likely to keep Gallup out for too long. When all three players are healthy, Amari Cooper (ankle), CeeDee Lamb and Gallup combine for a formidable wide receiver trio atop the Dallas Cowboys’ depth chart.

Cowboys’ Michael Gallup: Impressing coaching staff
Coach Mike McCarthy indicated Tuesday that Michael Gallup “is taking the next step you look for in young players,” and he’s seen more reps in the slot this offseason, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.Gallup is heading into a contract season with questions surrounding his status with the Dallas Cowboys beyond 2021 following the first-round selection of CeeDee Lamb in the 2020 NFL Draft. Gallup saw his numbers take a slight downturn last season, but that could be, in part, due to a new coaching staff and Dak Prescott going down with an injury for most of the season. Gallup should play a key role in the Cowboys’ offense again this season and, if his offseason reps hold any water, could be in line for some added work in the slot.

Cowboys’ Michael Gallup: Quiet season finale
Michael Gallup caught four of eight targets for 49 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Giants.The third-year receiver saw generally increased target volume after the Dallas Cowboys’ Week 10 bye as he showed some chemistry with Andy Dalton, but for the most part, Gallup’s chances of matching or improving on his 2019 breakout evaporated when Dak Prescott went down with a season-ending ankle injury Week 5. Gallup’s disappointing campaign was highlighted by a lackluster 8.0 YPT — 1.8 yards less than the season before. Assuming Prescott is back and healthy in 2021, Gallup will be a strong candidate for a rebound, even as part of a crowded WR group alongside Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb.

Cowboys’ Michael Gallup: Busts out in big win
Michael Gallup caught six of eight targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday’s 37-17 win over the Eagles.The Dallas Cowboys passing game re-discovered its early-season form in this one, and Gallup capitalized with his most productive outing of the season, leading Dallas in catches and targets while tying Amari Cooper for the team lead in receiving yards. It’s been a mostly disappointing campaign overall for Gallup, but the third-year wideout could wipe all that away with another big effort in Week 17’s clash with the Giants, as both teams remain alive in the hunt for the NFC East title.

Cowboys’ Michael Gallup: Manages full practice session
Michael Gallup (hip) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.The hip pointer Gallup sustained in Sunday’s win over the 49ers was initially expected to limit his practice reps this week, but the third-year wideout has apparently progressed faster in his recovery than anticipated. So long as he avoids a setback in practice the next two days, Gallup looks on track to enter this weekend’s matchup with the Eagles minus an injury designation. Gallup has drawn five or more targets in seven straight contests.

Cowboys’ Michael Gallup: Could return Week 16
Michael Gallup (hip) has avoided serious injury and hasn’t yet been ruled out to face the Eagles on Sunday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.Gallup was forced out of last weekend’s win over the 49ers due to a strained hip, but not before hauling in three catches for 26 yards and a score. The third-year pro has seen 35 targets in five games since the Dallas Cowboys’ bye.
