The Dallas Cowboys have signed Dalvin Cook to a one-year deal, as confirmed by his agency to NFL Network. Cook, 29, signed to the Cowboys’ practice squad but is still eligible to be elevated prior to Dallas’ Week 1 game against the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 8.
Cook played sparingly for the New York Jets last season; he was released in January and signed with the Baltimore Ravens in time for the playoffs, appearing in just one game. Cook will be joining running backs Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn, as well as Cowboys’ quarterback Dak Prescott in the backfield.
The four-time Pro Bowler scored 14 times over his final two campaigns with the Vikings and the Jets before moving to Baltimore. Cook’s best seasons came from 2019-22 with the Minnesota Vikings. He ran for at least 1,135 yards each season with a career best 1,557 in 2020, when he also had a career-high 16 rushing touchdowns.
