Report: MRI confirms Cowboys' Michael Gallup has torn ACL
It was feared on Sunday evening that Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the second quarter of the Week 17 25-22 loss to the Arizona Cardinals that dropped Dallas to 11-5 on the season:
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, an MRI confirmed that diagnosis on Monday. Gallup will, thus, miss the postseason tournament, and his status for the 2022 campaign is up in the air considering he may need an entire year to recover from the injury.
He is out of contract and is set to hit free agency when the new NFL year opens in March.
Per ESPN stats, Gallup ends his season with 35 catches for 445 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns serving as quarterback Dak Prescott's No. 3 receiver behind Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb. The 25-year-old was sidelined for seven games earlier in the season with a calf strain.
Dallas ends the regular season at the rival Philadelphia Eagles this coming Saturday night.
