Running back Dalvin Cook set to join Cowboys' practice squad after agreeing to contract

FRISCO, Texas – The Dallas Cowboys significantly strengthened their running back position on Wednesday, signing former Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook.

Cook, who was recently released by the New York Jets, will initially join the Cowboys' practice squad. The strategic Dalvin Cook practice squad move comes as the team aims to bolster their backfield, even with the return of two-time rushing champion Ezekiel Elliott.

Despite his impressive career with the Minnesota Vikings, Cook's time with the Jets was underwhelming. He struggled to find a consistent role and ultimately parted ways with the team.

The signing of Cook adds another talented runner to a Cowboys backfield that already includes Elliott and young players like Rico Dowdle, Hunter Luepke, and Deuce Vaughn. With both Elliott and Cook facing questions about their declining production, the Cowboys are hoping that a fresh start in Dallas will rejuvenate their careers.
