The Baltimore Ravens signed running back Dalvin Cook to their practice squad on Thursday, thereby boosting the team’s backfield as they head into the NFL playoffs. This comes after Cook went unclaimed on waivers after being released by the New York Jets on Tuesday. Cook’s agency previously confirmed that the player would be joining the Ravens after departing the Jets.
Cook’s playing time with the Ravens had been declining in recent weeks, with the player suited up yet not playing a single minute in his team’s 37-20 loss to the Cleveland Browns in what was a career first. According to one source, Cook’s departure from the Ravens was mutually agreed upon, with the player also agreeing to restructure his contract to forfeit remaining guarantees.
Baltimore sports the NFL’s number one rushing attack, however, its backfield has struggled due to injuries. With J.K. Dobbins suffering a season-ending Achilles injury and rookie Keaton Mitchell also sidelined for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury, Cook’s arrival is a welcome sight for the Ravens.
