  We consider cosmological dynamics of a canonical bulk scalar field, which is
coupled non-minimally to 5-dimensional Ricci scalar in a DGP setup. We show
that presence of this non-minimally coupled bulk scalar field affects the jump
conditions of the original DGP model significantly. Within a superpotential
approach, we perform some numerical analysis of the model parameter space and
consider bulk-brane energy exchange in this setup. Also we show that the
normal, ghost-free branch of the DGP solutions in this case has the potential
to realize a self-consistent phantom-like behavior and therefore explains late
time acceleration of the universe in a consistent way.
