Cook was not elevated from the practice squad Saturday and therefore is not eligible to play Sunday against the Eagles, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports. With Ezekiel Elliott back, Dallas opted to use the practice squad roster spot on wide receiver Jalen Cropper. With Dak Prescott (hamstring) sidelined indefinitely, the offense overall might struggle, and it's not as if the veteran Cook did much in his two appearances earlier this year, tallying just eight carries for 20 total yards across 23 offensive snaps. Cook could be elevated to the active roster at another point in the season.

Cook reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. With Ezekiel Elliott not making the trip to Atlanta for Sunday's game due to disciplinary reasons, Cook had a chance to earn a larger role in Dallas' backfield, but Rico Dowdle (55 of 77 offensive snaps) handled most of the work, and Hunter Luepke (17 snaps) was the next most-utilized RB option. Meanwhile, Cook was on the field for six offensive snaps and turned his two carries into eight yards. As long as Dowdle is healthy, Cook may not hold much sway in the Cowboys offense, even when Elliott isn't available.

Cook carried the ball twice for eight yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. With Ezekiel Elliott inactive, Cook worked as the Cowboys' No. 2 running back behind Rico Dowdle, but fullback Hunter Luepke actually saw more touches with two catches and a carry. Cook has yet to show anything in two games for Dallas that would suggest he's a threat to Dowdle's spot, but if Dak Prescott (hamstring) is forced to miss a Week 10 meeting with the Eagles, the Cowboys could lean more heavily on their running game.

The Cowboys elevated Cook from the practice squad Saturday in advance of Sunday's game in Atlanta. Cook saw his first action as a Cowboy last Sunday at San Francisco with Rico Dowdle sidelined due to an illness, ranking third in snaps (17 of 62) behind Ezekiel Elliott (28) and Hunter Luepke (25) out of the backfield. Cook's seven touches translated to only 22 yards from scrimmage, and with Dowdle back in action this weekend, it remains to be seen how the former may be involved in the offense.

Cook reverted to the Cowboys' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Cook waited until Week 8 to make his Dallas debut, and it happened to coincide with Rico Dowdle sitting out Sunday's loss to the 49ers due to an illness. Even with the potential opportunity in front of him, Cook (17 of 62 offensive snaps) took a back seat to Ezekiel Elliott (28) and Hunter Luepke (25) out of the Cowboys backfield. Elliott (11) and Cook (seven) handled most of the touches (Luepke had one carry). Assuming Dowdle is able to put his ailment behind him ahead of Sunday's game in Atlanta, he seemingly would retake the reins of the team's running game, with Elliott and an elevated Cook likely mixing in behind him.
