Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup will miss three-to-five weeks with a calf strain he incurred in the season opener, a source told Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News.

Gallup spent much of the second half on the sidelines against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who beat the Cowboys on a game-winning field goal in the dying seconds. The 25-year-old had four receptions for 36 yards before leaving Thursday's contest.

Gallup is in his fourth season with the Cowboys. He enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign in 2019 with 1,107 yards and six touchdowns, but his production regressed to 843 yards and five touchdowns in 2020.

The Cowboys could give Cedrick Wilson more snaps alongside Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb in three-receiver sets while Gallup is on the shelf.
