The Cowboys feel "really good" about Gallup (knee) and chose not to move him to the reserve/PUP list Tuesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.
A bunch of players coming back from major surgery were moved from active/PUP to reserve/PUP on Tuesday, clearing a roster spot while ruling them out for the first four games of the regular season. Gallup wasn't one of them, though the Cowboys technically can still shift him to the reserve/PUP list up until they make their third and final round of cuts Aug. 30. Despite ruling himself out for Week 1 already, Gallup appears to be on track to avoid that automatic four-game absence. The Cowboys certainly could use him, with James Washington (foot) out until at least late September and rookie Jalen Tolbert looking very rough around the edges in two preseason appearances.
