Dallas Cowboys receiver could return Sunday against Green Bay Packers
The Dallas Cowboys’ offense could get a big assist against the Green Bay Packers.
Injured receiver Michael Gallup practiced Wednesday and is likely to play when the Cowboys’ host the Packers at 3:25 p.m. Sunday at AT&T Stadium.
Gallup said structurally his knee has heeled. The only hurdle he has left is to mentally trust it to handle the rigors of an NFL game.
“The doctor says my knee is fine. It’s good,” Gallup said. “I can’t really do anything to it. It’s just I got to get it through my head that I can do it. That’s all I need to do.”
Gallup missed the past two games with a knee injury. He was expected to miss a month after surgery. He tore the meniscus in his left knee late in the win at Washington.
Head coach Jason Garret called Gallup a weapon who “has done a lot of good things for us.”
“Michael has just been a really impactful player. We throw him the ball and good things happen,” Garrett said. “He’s demonstrated that he can win short, medium and deep.”
