Looking to join a Super Bowl contender, Cook was released in early January and signed with the Ravens. In his one outing where he was active, Cook had eight carries for 23 yards in a playoff win over Houston.
He did not play in the AFC Championship loss to the Chiefs.
Cook has seen his yards per carry dwindle over the past four years:
2020: 5.0
2021: 4.7
2022: 4.4
2023: 3.2
Still, he’s a veteran running back with a penchant for avoiding big hits and picking up much-needed yards. He’ll join a committee of running backs in Dallas, including Rico Dowdle, Ezekiel Elliott, and Duece Vaughn.
