The Dallas Cowboys are signing free-agent running back Dalvin Cook to their practice squad, according to multiple reports.
The four-time Pro Bowler most recently played for the Baltimore Ravens following a stint with the New York Jets last season and a prolific, six-year tenure with the Minnesota Vikings earlier in his career.
Cook, 29, signed with the Ravens in January for the playoffs, posting eight carries for 23 yards in Baltimore’s divisional-round win against the Houston Texans. He did not play in the AFC Championship Game, where the Ravens fell to the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
The Jets released Cook in January after he signed a one-year, $5.8 million guaranteed contract with the team last August. Cook didn’t see much time with New York, playing behind Breece Hall after Hall’s resurgence post-ACL tear. Cook recorded 67 carries for 214 yards and no touchdowns — all career-lows — in 15 regular-season games for the Jets.
The Vikings released Cook last summer. During his time in Minnesota, he rushed for 5,993 yards and 47 touchdowns and added 221 receptions for 1,794 yards and five TDs.
