Dalvin Cook Joins Dallas Cowboys Practice Squad

Dalvin Cook has signed with the Dallas Cowboys and will start his tenure on the practice squad, wearing jersey number 20, previously held by Tony Pollard. Cook acknowledges that playing alongside established running backs like Ezekiel Elliott will require an adjustment, but he is eager to learn and believes the competition will enhance their performance. He expressed confidence in his abilities despite a lackluster previous season with the Jets and Ravens, stating, 'I (still) got it.' Cook's signing comes as the Cowboys bolster their roster ahead of their upcoming season, having also secured additional players for their practice squad. Both Cook and Elliott face scrutiny regarding their performance levels, yet collectively they bring over 15,000 career rushing yards to the Cowboys' backfield. Cook's connection with Cowboys defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer, who coached him in Minnesota, played a significant role in his decision to join Dallas.
