Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup was activated off of injured reserve last week and caught three passes for 42 yards in 53 percent of offensive snaps. Gallup’s usage is expected to rise with Cooper up.
Starting wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and tight end Dalton Schultz also could see their targets increase for as long as Cooper is out. Cedrick Wilson will serve as Dallas’ third receiver. Noah Brown, Simi Fehoko and Malik Turner fill out the Cowboys’ wide receiver depth chart.
