Dalvin Cook Elevated to Cowboys Active Roster

The Dallas Cowboys have officially elevated running back Dalvin Cook from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of their Sunday night game against the San Francisco 49ers. Cook, a four-time Pro Bowler, has been noted for his strong performance in practice, and the team hopes he can revitalize a struggling rushing offense that currently averages an NFL-low 77.2 yards per game. This move comes as the Cowboys also placed tight end John Stephens on injured reserve due to an ACL injury. Despite Cook's past struggles with the New York Jets and a brief stint with the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas is looking for a spark in their running game, especially with Ezekiel Elliott and Deuce Vaughn's uninspiring performances. Coach Mike McCarthy has expressed confidence in Cook’s readiness for game action. The Cowboys are keen to maximize their backfield options as they face a crucial matchup against the 49ers.
