Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup, who is working his way back from a torn ACL suffered last January, told reporters that it doesn’t appear he’ll be ready for his team’s Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 11.

Cowboys WR Michael Gallup (knee) isn’t sure when he’ll be ready to return. He said playing Week 1 is not a realistic possibility. “We got a little ways to go. It’s gotta get a little bit stronger. … I’m ready to get back out there and help the team win.” <a href=”https://t.co/ofkK4GO1cP”>pic.twitter.com/ofkK4GO1cP</a>
Gallup, a four-year NFL veteran, caught 35 passes for 445 yards and two touchdowns in nine games last season. A calf injury landed him on injured reserve in September. He sat for two months before returning in November.
Unfortunately, Gallup was lost for the year after tearing his ACL on Jan. 2 while catching a touchdown pass against the Arizona Cardinals. He had surgery in early February.
After the season, Gallup signed a five-year, $62.5 million contract to remain with the Cowboys.
