Michael Gallup: Everything you need to know

Washington released Gallup on Monday. Gallup came out of retirement back in March and spent the entire offseason with the Commanders, but while he could be a candidate to resurface on the practice squad, he won't make the team's initial 53-man roster. The 29-year-old wideout last suited up for regular-season action in 2023 with the Cowboys, when he played all 17 games and posted a 34-418-2 line on 57 targets.

Gallup (hamstring) is participating in training camp, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Gallup is healthy after missing June minicamp with a hamstring strain. He retired last summer on the eve of training camp with Las Vegas, but he's giving it another go one year later at age 29. Gallup will perhaps hope to compete with Noah Brown and others for the No. 3 WR role, although simply making the Week 1 roster would be a good outcome for him.

Gallup is not participating in Commanders mandatory minicamp Wednesday due to a hamstring strain, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Gallup also sat out Tuesday's minicamp session due to his injury. After a one-season retirement hiatus, Gallup is competing to carve out a depth role in Washington's wide receiver corps and make a comeback in the NFL. His path to a spot on the 53-man roster will become increasingly difficult the more time he misses, but Gallup at least has over a month to get healthy ahead of training camp.
