Dalvin Cook: Unlikely to be elevated Week 3
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said in a radio appearance Tuesday that Dalvin Cook is unlikely to be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. "I don't necessarily see a change that would involve Cook this week," Jones said.Though the Cowboys are coming off an embarrassing 44-19 home loss to the Saints, Jones doesn't pin the blame on the three players in Dallas' running back room, who were limited to 17 carries due in large part to a negative game script. The trio of Rico Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn hasn't been particularly efficient through two weeks, however -- Dowdle paces the backfield with an average of 3.7 yards per carry. After averaging a career-worst 3.2 yards per carry in 15 games with the Jets in 2023, Cook doesn't seemed to be viewed by Dallas as an upgrade on any of the current group. It may take an injury for Cook to get an opportunity to suit up for the Cowboys.

Dalvin Cook: Won't play Week 1
Dalvin Cook won't play Sunday against the Browns after the Cowboys didn't elevate him from the practice squad ahead of Saturday's deadline for Week 1 roster moves, Mauricio Rodriguez of AToZSports.com reports.Cook missed all of training camp and the preseason since he didn't sign with Dallas' practice squad until the final week of August, so he may need more time to familiarize himself with the Cowboys' offensive system before he's added to the roster. The Cowboys will head into Sunday's season opener with Rico Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn as their available running backs.

Dalvin Cook: Signed to Dallas practice squad
The Cowboys signed Dalvin Cook to their practice squad Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.Cook apparently won't start off on the active roster but can be activated at any time. He averaged 3.2 yards per carry with the Jets and Ravens last season, struggling to earn a significant role with both teams. However, Cook should have a chance at playing more in 2024 now that he's joining one of the weakest backfields in the league. Dallas kept Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn as the three running backs on the 53-man roster after cutdown day, parting ways with Royce Freeman and Malik Davis.

Dalvin Cook: Set to join Dallas
Dalvin Cook agreed to a contract with Dallas on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.Cook averaged just 3.2 yards per carry over 15 games in 2023 between stops with the Jets and Ravens, but the Cowboys will bring the 29-year-old aboard and see if he has anything left in the tank. Despite his inefficiency last season, Cook could still find himself in a position to earn snaps in a Dallas backfield that lacks a clear No. 1 option. Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott currently represent Cook's top threats for playing time in Dallas.

Dalvin Cook: Visiting Dallas
Dalvin Cook is being flown in for a visit with the Cowboys on Monday night, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.The teams haven't yet had contract talks, but this is seemingly cause for optimism in the Cook camp. He averaged just 3.2 yards per carry across 15 games in 2023 between the Jets and Ravens, rendering it the worst season of his career. If he can regain something closer to his prior form with the Vikings, though, the four-time Pro Bowler could be an immediate upgrade for a Dallas backfield currently headed by the unimpressive duo of Ezekiel Elliott and Rico Dowdle.

Dalvin Cook: Hopes for training camp chance
Dalvin Cook said Thursday he hopes to compete in training camp this offseason with a new team, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.Cook said he wants to participate fully in training camp this offseason to "get my legs back under me and feel like myself again." The veteran back is coming off the worst season of his career by a good margin, but says if given a chance to compete, he believes he'll be able to impress new coaches and teammates.

Ravens' Dalvin Cook: Struggles in 2023
Dalvin Cook finished the year with 75 carries for 237 yards and no touchdowns while adding 15 catches for 78 yards on 20 targets, including the postseason.The veteran began the year with the Jets before mutually parting ways with Gang Green in time to sign with a playoff contender. Cook latched on with the Baltimore Ravens and was saw some action in the divisional-round win over the Texans with eight carries for 23 yards. Unfortunately, this was the worst season of the 28-year-old's career by any metric. Cook was on a one-year deal and it does not appear likely that Baltimore will re-sign him, so the veteran projects to hit the open market as an aging running back coming off a tough year. The days of Cook garnering a long-term deal are likely behind him.

Ravens' Dalvin Cook: Signed to 53-man roster
The Baltimore Ravens officially signed Dalvin Cook to their 53-man roster Thursday.Cook is thus slated to make his debut with the Ravens in Saturday's divisional-round game against the Texans. It remains to be seen what sort of role he'll see initially with Gus Edwards and Justice Hill also in the team's backfield mix, but according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com, coach John Harbaugh noted last week that he viewed Cook as a "potentially very valuable weapon" heading into Baltimore's postseason run.

Ravens' Dalvin Cook: To suit up vs. Texans
The Baltimore Ravens are in line to promote Dalvin Cook from the practice squad Thursday, positioning him to suit up for Saturday's divisional playoff matchup against Houston, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Baltimore should officially announce Cook's addition to the 53-man roster shortly. The transaction comes following the team's decision to waive Melvin Gordon on Wednesday, meaning Cook is primed to suit up alongside Gus Edwards and Justice Hill in the Ravens backfield during Saturday's divisional round matchup. Cook struggled across 15 regular-season appearances with the Jets, averaging just 3.2 yards per carry without a single touchdown, but it's possible a chance of scenery could revitalize him for the postseason.

Dalvin Cook: Could get opportunity in playoffs
Dalvin Cook -- who is currently on Baltimore's practice squad -- is likely to get an opportunity in the playoffs, as the Ravens are dissatisfied in the current state of their running back room, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.Gus Edwards, Justice Hill and Melvin Gordon have posted underwhelming numbers recently, averaging a combined 4.0 yards per carry in recent games. Edwards has also fumbled in each of the last two games, and Gordon added to his extensive history of fumbling in Baltimore's regular-season finale. The situation is ripe for Cook to take on a larger role in the postseason, but whether he can take advantage of that opportunity is a different matter, as Cook averaged a paltry 3.2 yards per carry without a touchdown in 15 appearances for the Jets prior to being waived and eventually winding up on Baltimore's practice squad.
