After losing wide receiver Michael Gallup to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 17, the Dallas Cowboys appear to be getting back a different key member of their offense in time for Week 18, or at least the upcoming playoffs.

The #Cowboys designated TE Blake Jarwin for return from IR. He'll return to practice today, as Mike McCarthy had hoped.

Jarwin has been limited to seven games this season and has not played since Week 8 after suffering a hip injury. The 27-year-old has made just 10 receptions for 90 yards on 15 targets this year, but two of his catches went for touchdowns.

After playing in just one contest during his 2017 rookie season, Jarwin appeared in all 16 contests across both the 2018 and 2019 campaigns. Jarwin tore his ACL in Week 1 of the 2020 season and missed the rest of the year.

The Oklahoma St. product has recorded 69 receptions for 774 yards and eight touchdowns on 93 targets in 41 career games.
