The Cowboys designated Gallup (calf) to return from injured reserve Monday, Rob Phillips of the Cowboys' official site reports.
Just as team executive Stephen Jones predicted earlier Monday, Gallup will resume practicing this week after missing the Cowboys' last five games with a left calf strain. With the benefit of coming off a Week 7 bye, Gallup was afforded a full six weeks of recovery time, so he should have a good chance at suiting up this Sunday in Minnesota if his calf responds well to practice activity over the next several days. Once formally reinstated from IR, Gallup will provide a potent Dallas passing attack with another high-quality option, though he could struggle to carve out consistent weekly target volume behind Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Dalton Schultz and Ezekiel Elliott.
