Four-time Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook will meet with the Dallas Cowboys and work out for the team on Tuesday, multiple media outlets reported Monday.
Cook has rushed for 6,207 yards and 47 touchdowns in 88 NFL games (73 starts) over seven seasons since being a second-round draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings in 2017. He also has 236 receptions for 1,872 yards and five scores.
Cook enjoyed four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons on the ground for the Vikings from 2019-22 before shoulder surgery derailed him. He established career highs of 1,557 rushing yards and 16 scores on the ground in just 14 games (all starts) in 2020.
Minnesota released him in June 2023, and Cook had a disappointing 15-game run for the New York Jets last season, when he rushed for just 214 yards before being let go in early January.
The Baltimore Ravens picked up Cook, and he rushed for 23 yards on eight carries during a playoff victory over the Houston Texans. He didn’t play in the following week’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
Ezekiel Elliott, a former Cowboys star, is back with the team and is listed No. 1 on the depth chart. Elliott played seven seasons for Dallas before spending last season with the New England Patriots.
Rico Dowdle is listed as the No. 2 back on the Dallas depth chart, and Royce Freeman is the third-stringer.
Tony Pollard led Dallas with 1,005 rushing yards last season. He signed a three-year, $21.75 million free-agent deal with the Tennessee Titans in the offseason.
