Dalvin Cook Might Not Play For Dallas Cowboys On Sunday, September 15, 2024
As the team mentioned, Dalvin Cook is still on the Cowboys‘ practice squad. Thus, he won’t play the Week 2 6th match between the Dallas Cowboys and the New Orleans Saints.
The match is going to be held on September 15, 2024.
Apparently, he missed all of the training camp and the preseason for the National Football League 2024.
He didn’t sign with Dalla’s practice squad until the final week of August, so he might need more time to adjust to the team’s play and formation.

Similarly, the Dallas Cowboys stated that familiarizing oneself with the Cowboys’ offensive system takes time. Cook, therefore, needs training before he is added to the roster.
Moreover, fans are excited to watch him playing for the Cowboys and ruling the field and opponents. However, as the news regarding Cook not playing the Sunday match, they are disenchanted.
However, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy mentioned the possibility of including Cook in the Week 3 game between the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Ravens on September 23, 2024.
Furthermore, Dallas has another game of Week 4 on September 27, 2024. Thus, if Dalvin Cook is not in Week 3, he will likely not be in Week 4 in the match against the New York Giants.
Now, fans are waiting for Dalvin Cook to step back in the field to dominate the match with his impressive skills and phenomenal strength.
If Dalvin Cook plays in Week 3, it will be his match against his previous team, Ravens. So, fans and followers are double excited to watch Cook in the NFL.
