SAN FRANCISCO -- At long last, running back Dalvin Cook will make his Dallas Cowboys debut Sunday against the 49ers.
Signed to the practice squad a week before the season started, Cook has waited patiently as the Cowboys' running game has sputtered. The Cowboys are averaging 77.2 rushing yards per game, lowest in the NFL, and have gone a franchise-record 20 games without a 100-yard rusher.
On Friday, coach Mike McCarthy said Cook was ready for the opportunity.
In the past few weeks, Cook has seen his snaps with the first team increase.
