The Cowboys turn to a veteran presence to add depth at RB.
After not participating in camp and the preseason, Dalvin Cook will ramp up initially on the practice squad and familiarize himself with the system before being activated. He’s been training nonstop and should be ready to roll sooner than later.Only 29 years old, Cook was thought to have something left in the tank when he signed with the New York Jets to join Aaron Rodgers in the Big Apple last offseason. But things did not work out as hoped.
Dallas needed some reinforcements at running back after letting Tony Pollard walk in the offseason. Jerry Jones signed old favorite Ezekiel Elliott for a reunion but otherwise did very little to address the lack of impact talent at the position. Rico Dawdle and Deuce Vaughn are the only other names on the depth chart after cut day this week.
Cook was a four-time Pro Bowler for the Minnesota Vikings from 2017 to 2022. In his final season up north he rushed for 1,173 yards and eight touchdowns to go along with 39 catches for 295 yards. The Cowboys will soon find out if they're getting that guy, or the back who averaged a career-low 3.2 yards per carry in 2023.Liam McKeone is a senior writer for the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
