NFL Rumors: Cowboys FA Michael Gallup Expected to be 100% by August After ACL Injury

According to Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus, veteran wide receiver Michael Gallup is expected to be back to full strength by August.

After four years with the Dallas Cowboys, Gallup is hitting free agency.

The 25-year-old was limited to nine appearances. He was out for two months because of a calf strain.

He ended up with 35 catches for 445 yards and two touchdown. His yards per reception were the lowest of his career.

If he didn't have to share an offense with Cooper and Lamb, his career numbers would be higher.

Gallup was ranked 28th and 40th by Pro Football Focus.

When Tom Pelissero reported on Sunday that the Cowboys are planning to have EzekielElliott back, he described re-signing Gallup as a big priority. If both players are retained, the salary cap will be $22 million against it.

Gallup would miss the bulk of the summer workouts, but he would be ready to go in Week 1.

Jerry Jones needs to hear that reassurance if he wants to pursue a reunion with the third-round pick.
