"That's all up to the trainers," he said at last week's Season Kickoff Event.

"I'm back to running routes now, actually getting to catch balls now," he said. "There's not a whole lot more I've really got to do."

So we can expect him to be back in the line up week three.

Good news.

Godspeed. Cowboys Nation sends their best wishes

We will know for sure, if he is left on PUP or activated to the 53 come tomorrow. And even if he is, he may still miss 4 games.
They just won’t have to go through all the procedures of activating him and releasing a player.

This thread dovetails nicely into a “must win game” thread. Lol

Weird he said trainers. All the Eagle trolls here told me that Jerry decides when he plays. Hmm.

 

[Jarntt]

I’d be shocked if he didn’t miss a minimum of 4 games

 

[DanA]

I’d be shocked if he didn’t miss a minimum of 4 games 6 games

Sounds positive to me, see ya soon Gallup!

Those trainers all report to doctor Jerry.

Those trainers all report to doctor Jerry.

More like Jerry asks them how’s his players are doing.

 

[JoeKing]

MG, come back to us, we need you!

 

[noshame]

Thank you Jesus

I'm reasonably sure the trainers are subject to what the doctors think as well as what the trainers do. Nobody knows what they might say until the time comes for Michael Gallup to get their approval. Fortunately, his progress has been very impressive.

Hopefully, his return will come sooner than later. Until then, the offense will get by with what it has available. They'd surely be doing Michael Gallup a disservice if they rushed his return before he's totally prepared to withstand the rigors of the job. I'll look forward to his return whenever it occurs.

Frankly I'm shocked he's not going to be shelved until November based on all the Dr opinions I have read or heard out there....it hasn't even been 9 months yet since the injury and most take 11 to 12 months to fully come back from...sounds like 10 is fast and 9 is nearly unheard of.

What is making it faster for him I wonder or is he still 6 to 8 weeks out?

If I had to venture a guess, I think it might be about four weeks into the season. It seems like they're very optimistic that it will be sooner than what was originally expected. I'm guessing the tests will be a crucial factor in arriving at a decision. If it's sooner, so much the better. The docs and trainers might likely choose to err on the side of caution, however. He's already been working out with the team, to some extent, with no negative results.

I wonder if the doctor who did his surgery used the middle 3rd of the patella, a piece of his hamstring or cadaver. The first takes the longest, and is the strongest and the last would be the quickest but most likely to fail.

I don’t think we’ve accomplished enough here in the last quarter century to merit have all these “Eagle Trolls” you speak of………it’s mostly dissatisfied fans instead.

I wonder if Gallup would even be the #3 receiver on some of the better teams?
