Overview

• Washington released wide receiver Michael Gallup along with Essang Bassey, Nick Harris, Tyre Phillips, Norell Pollard and Braylon Sanders, the team announced.
• Gallup, Bassey, Harris and Phillips are vested veterans who become free agents immediately, while Pollard and Sanders are subject to waivers.
• Gallup signed with Washington in March to attempt a comeback after retiring last summer following his Dallas tenure and a brief Raiders stint.
• He logged four receptions on 10 preseason targets for 40 yards, according to Pro Football Focus.
• The decision comes as Washington solidifies a receiver group led by Deebo Samuel and Terry McLaurin, whose extension was finalized hours before the cuts ahead of Tuesday’s 53-man deadline.
