Gallup (calf) returned to practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The report notes that Gallup was "still taking it slow" in his first practice since Week 1, but teammate CeeDee Lamb mentioned that Gallup was "all smiles" and should be "back in no time." The Cowboys have opened their 21-day window to bring Gallup back from injured reserve, setting up a return at some point Weeks 8 through 10. It isn't yet clear if Gallup has a realistic shot to play Sunday against the Vikings.
