Cowboys vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Gallup (calf) will return to practice this week, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Prior to the Cowboys' Week 7 bye, coach Mike McCarthy was optimistic that Gallup would be able to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings, and it appears as though the receiver will be designated to return from injured reserve. The Cowboys presumably will monitor the 25-year-old's status in practice prior to determining his availability for the Week 8 matchup, but he's making considerable progress toward a return.
