Only with the Dallas Cowboys can there be so much media coverage for a running back on the practice squad. On August 28, the Cowboys signed veteran Dalvin Cook to their practice squad, where he’s been since the start of the season.
When he signed with Dallas, head coach Mike McCarthy mentioned that Cook would need time to acclimate to the offense and learn its vocabulary. Time has passed, and the conversation around Cook’s eventual elevation is starting to heat up, with the current Dallas backfield struggling to find its stride.
