Let go by Commanders Washington cut Gallup on Monday.

Impact 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 receiving line on 57 targets.

Healthy for camp Gallup (hamstring) is participating in training camp, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact 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.

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.

Impact Gallup last saw regular-season action with Dallas during the 2023 season, when he logged a 34/418/2 receiving line in 17 regular-season games.

Osborn also in the mix. While Gallup doesn't have a clear path to steady volume at first glance, he goes give the Commanders experienced pass-catching depth, as he reunites with coach Dan Quinn, who worked with the 2018 third-rounder while the two were together for three years in Dallas, per Ben Standig of The Athletic.

Retirement made official The Raiders placed Gallup on the reserve/retired list Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Gallup surprisingly retired as training camp kicked off for Las Vegas, after having signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the team during the offseason. The 28-year-old wideout played all six seasons of his NFL career in a Cowboys uniform, and injuries seemed to derail him after a promising 66-1,107-6 receiving line in Year 2. Former teammate Dak Prescott praised Gallup following his retirement, per Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site, saying "he was huge for my career."
