Dalvin Cook Could Be Closer To Joining Active Roster
2 months agoDallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy hinted on 105.3 The Fan that running back Dalvin Cook could be getting closer to being promoted from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster. "He took some reps yesterday in the team periods, so we're definitely moving him forward. But the other part of it, too, is I think Rico Dowdle and (Ezekiel Elliott) they haven't been given a lot of opportunities too, so it isn't like they haven't done anything to warrant their opportunities decreasing right now. It's a great place to be. It gives us excellent depth. That's a hell of a situation to be in," McCarthy said. Neither Dowdle or Elliott have done much of anything to impress through the season's first four weeks, but based on how Cook looked last year with the Jets, the 29-year-old is no lock to be an improvement over what Dallas has right now. Cook signed with Dallas before the season opener and remains on the practice squad.
