Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup, who suffered a torn ACL in his left knee on Jan. 2, got encouraging news on Tuesday.
The fifth-year pro passed his team physical and was removed from the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, according to Mike Fisher of Cowboys Country. If Gallup had opened the regular season on the PUP list, he wouldn’t have become eligible to play before Week 5.
Gallup now is eligible to play in the season opener, although that timeline probably is optimistic considering that he underwent reconstructive surgery on Feb.
