Michael Gallup throws cold water on Cowboys return after Mike McCarthy comments

Michael Gallup says starting Week 1 “is not a realistic possibility” despite Mike McCarthy’s optimism
In the past few months, it’s become abundantly clear that Gallup won’t start Week 1. But any info beyond that has yet to be given. On day one of training camp, head coach Mike McCarthy was unsurprisingly asked for an update about one of his main receivers. The response seemed positive. While no one assumed that McCarthy’s quote meant Gallup would be ready the next day, it seemed more optimistic than what we later heard from the receiver himself.

McCarthy told the press that the receiver “looks really good” and “has not missed a target yet,” once again sparking hope in fans.



When reporters asked the receiver himself the next day, he finally gave some form of affirmative answer as to whether he would be able to play against the Bucs. The answer was, unfortunately, no.

Gallup told the press that starting Week 1 was not realistic and said he has “a little ways to go.”

“Hasn’t missed a target date” doesn’t mean he’ll be back for week 1 lol. This whole article is based on fbe premise that McCarthy expected him back week 1 which isn’t true.

Very much a “we need licks in August” article.

MG, take your time. Fully heal and be ready when you come back. Meanwhile, we are going to get a very good idea of your value when we try to win games without you.

No joke. That is a non-story for sure.

Jeez what a dramatic thread header over what at this stage is a mundane injury recovery update.

Jerry or Stephen was alluding to the fact he could be back Week 1 earlier this off-season.

I hear ya but optimism in March shouldn’t be held onto to the point that we are making it seem like it’s a setback if he’s not out there game 1.

 

[davey999]

Week 7 at the earliest.

 

[OGCowboy]

SMDH at these kind of “articles” and the people that think it’s news....

 

[CouchCoach]

Gallup should know by now his HC's primary job is to accentuate the positive.

 

[ESisback]

“Journalists” desperate for click$ in July will twist anything to manufacture drama. My guess is he doesn’t see the field until Halloween, with measurable contribution by sometime in November.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s longer.

[cowboyec]

The player would know best!

Lol meant clicks

I don't know of too many people at thought he'd be back week 1. A realistic estimate is a week or two before the bye.

I had some people arguing with me that Gallup would be starting game 1 back before the 2022 draft because the Cowboys stated he could be starting at beginning of season. He will be playing right before the bye (Halloween) or after the bye November 13th.

Yeah, and that may be pushing it. But it's a realistic estimate. Cases where an athlete can play after that injury in 6-7 months is extremely rare to nonexistent.
