News: Updates: Michael Gallup Discusses His Progress

[Ranched]

Great news! Even though Gallup is needed immediately, it's worth the wait on having him 100% when he returns.

 

[baltcowboy]

If he makes it back in September that would be amazing. Most ACL injuries take a year unless you are Adrian Peterson. It looks like Chase Young will take a year just to practice. Hopefully they are not rushing him back to fast.

Meh...Week 6-8 closer to November.
Is it time to start looking at MG as injury prone? He's been hurt a lot the past 2 seasons.

 

[Sydla]

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

I think what happens is Dr Jerry says things publicly that make his trainers slap their foreheads.

 

[Floatyworm]

2:11 p.m. – Michael Gallup isn't putting a timetable on his return to practice and game action.

"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."

He probably ends up on PUP.....misses 6 weeks.

 

[Crown Royal]

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?

He had surgery in February. September would be 7 months which is WAY too fast, basically unheard of. October would by 8 months which is fast but not unprecedented. November/December is the more likely timeline.

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.

So it appears I accidentally complimented them. Was not my intentions. Whoops.

 

[blueblood70]

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.

not on pup from what ive read.

 

[Sydla]

not on pup from what ive read.

It's clear Jerry thinks he's ready to play from his interview today. So they appear to be adding him to the 53 and just assume he'll be ready by Week 2 or 3.

Problem is, the Cowboys always seem to overestimate how quickly these guys come back from injuries. Jerry is claiming Tyron will also likely be back sooner than thought.

And this is a good thing.

yeah that was my point, i dont see how hes going to be back before week 5 based on everything i have read on the injury and return. If they start him on the roster, then move him to the IR and end up dropping a player that gets snagged by someone else (aka bad roster managment) it is going to be frustrating

Yes, I been saying this for years.

They don't need to move him to IR, they can just keep him on PUP. It is a minimum of 4 games either way.
I know what you are saying, but I don't think these guys are even that dumb....well, then again...

I unfortunately think they might be just that dumb!....that's what i am worried about honestly

Dr. Jerry has confirmed to Coach Jerry that Gallup could play if the league would do him a solid and just put the Cowboys in the Super Bowl in week one.

 

[Sydla]

LOL, they are being conservative but he could start week one?

Basically, Jerry is defending his decision to not get any more WRs here. What's going to likely happen is that when week 4 rolls around, they'll still be "conservative" with him.

Not any different the year TO played for the eagles and wasn't 100% but given it was the SB he came back early and actually played well for not being 100% off a broken leg..that was his point, got it yet,,saying hes that close he could pay in a more meaningful game.
