Update on Michael Gallup

[Doomsday101]

The Cowboys will continue to be without wide receiver Michael Gallup in their upcoming game against the Giants despite being eligible to return under NFL rules after spending four weeks on the injured reserve. Gallup injured his calf in the second half of the Cowboys' opening game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Mike McCarthy didn't sound like the playmaker was particularly close to suiting up in a game.

"He's making progress," McCarthy said. "I'm not going to give you timelines. He won't be available this week. I'd be hard pressed to think he'll be available [the following week] in New England."

After the Patriots game on Oct. 17, the Cowboys have a bye week before returning to the field in Minnesota on Oct. 31.

The Cowboys' offense has not seemed to struggle in his absence with both Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb playing up to their potential as well as the emergence of Cedrick Wilson and Noah Brown as reliable receivers who look more than comfortable in the team's offense.

Gallup caught four passes for 36 yards in the loss to Tampa Bay before leaving the game with his calf injury. He will be a free agent in the offseason.

If I had to guess I would say Gallup will be back after the bye week. Not a bad problem to have

 

[Cowboy4ever]

Does he have an injury clause, maybe we will cut him too.

 

[Ranched]

It's comforting knowing we have wonderful receivers who are capable of stepping up when one is out due to injury. Wilson comes to mind.

 

[MichiganCowboyFan]

We need KJ back more desperately than Gallup, because AB stinks and has stones for hands

Nope...he's performing as expected.

 

[Cowboys22]

I believe they are keeping players on IR and the Covid list longer than necessary as a way to manage the roster crunch they will face when everyone is healthy.

Curious what this damaged goods season does to his free agency price this coming spring. If he misses the bulk of the year it's not going to make his agent very happy.

I agree and with the next two games against the Giants and Patriots before the bye week with how the offense is looking with Cedric Wilson filling in for Gallup, there's no need to rush him back risking reinjuring himself...

hoping his price tag drops to the 10m/year for 3 years type range. Maybe he'll only sign a one year in that case.

the Patriots offense can definitely be had if we don't give up the quick game. If we jump routes and make sure to stop the short stuff, their terrible offensive line will NOT keep Mac Jones protected against our ferocious pass rush and our defense should feast. Just don't give up the easy stuff. Dare them to try and hold up in pass pro long enough to beat us deep.

he’s still on a rookie contract

i was already thinking and hoping after bye week anyway.
Rushing calf strain injury sounds like Kevin Durant like situation.
Wilson's emergence has really made Gallup's absence much more at ease.

Hate to say it but every game he misses increases our odds of keeping him this off-season just a little bit - right??

 

[Flamma]

I like how they say "the emergence of Cedrick Wilson". Wilson, although not Gallup, has always played well.

 

[Silver Surfer]

Meanwhile, Cedric's getting his voodoo doll ready...

 

[Whirlwin]

Does he have an injury clause, maybe we will cut him too.

For what reason.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

For what reason.

it was a joke guys, calm down.. I thought the SMILEY would give it away.. guess not. I have no want, need or desire to cut Gallup.. I want him over Cooper.

 

[RoyalCowboy]

No need to rush MG. He will come back at a great time after the bye to face the Vikings on SNF. Then he will breakout and have 2 TD's lol.

I think "the emergence of Cedrick Wilson" (who is a JAG) has more to do with how great our quarterback is than Cedrick Wilson.
