Report: Cowboys' Michael Gallup to Play vs. Redskins After Brother's Suicide

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup reportedly plans to play against the Washington Redskins on Thursday in the wake of his brother's death by suicide last week, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk.

Per Clarence Hill Jr. of the Star-Telegram, Gallup's family is deciding whether it will hold his brother's funeral on Wednesday or Friday.

Hill added that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has offered Gallup his private jet to get to and from the funeral.

Gallup is quarterback Dak Prescott's primary deep threat, and his presence could be a major asset for the 5-5 Cowboys on Thanksgiving, as they attempt to tie the Redskins for the NFC East lead with a victory.
