Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Wednesday that the team plans to have Gallup (knee) on the 53-man roster Week 1 instead of stashing him on the reserve/PUP list to begin the regular season, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gallup, who is working back from surgery to repair a torn ACL, is currently on the active/PUP list, but it looks like he'll avoid placement on the reserve version of the list, which would force him to miss at least four games. At this stage, Gallup isn't expected to play Week 1, but the Cowboys are leaving open the possibility that the wideout could return to action not too long after the Sept. 11 opener versus the Buccaneers.
