Dalvin Cook

Dalvin Cook will be elevated from the practice squad for the Cowboys’ Week 8 matchup with the 49ers, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.

Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy spoke earlier this week about Cook calling him “in position” to play Sunday. Maybe he’ll be part of Dallas’ game plan coming out of the bye week, but it’s more likely the 29-year-old Cook gets just enough work to take away from Rico Dowdle and Ezekiel Elliott’s fantasy value.
