Cowboys rookie receiver Michael Gallup is expected to play on Thursday when Dallas takes on the Washington Redskins on Thanksgiving despite his brother's sudden death just days ago, 247 Sports' Mike Fisher reports.
Gallup remained in his hometown of Atlanta after the Cowboys beat the Falcons, 22-19 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium last Sunday. One of Gallup's sisters found the 22-year-old star in the locker room after the game to break the news about his brother's apparent suicide. He remained in Atlanta as arrangements were made but returned to the Cowboys' locker room on Wednesday ahead of Thursday's rivalry game, per Fisher.
