Dallas Cowboys running back Dalvin Cook may be getting closer to an opportunity on the team’s 53-man roster, as Mike McCarthy praises team’s running back depth.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0running backs have been the worst in the NFL through September, leading to calls from Cowboys Nation to give Dalvin Cook a promotion from the practice squad to the team’s 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

Cook signed with the Cowboys before the regular season, but has yet to get an opportunity on gameday.<\/p>\n

Despite the\u00a0calls for Cooks to get his chance, the Cowboys brass has been hesitant. They have given a plethora of excuses for why he has not been elevated, but he is getting closer, according to head coach Mike McCarthy.<\/p>\n

McCarthy shared his thoughts on where Cook stands when appearing on 1053 The Fan.<\/p>\n

“He took some reps yesterday in the team periods, so we’re definitely moving him forward. But the other part of it, too, is I think Rico (Dowdle) and (Ezekiel Elliott) they haven’t been given a lot of opportunities too, so it isn’t like they haven’t done anything to warrant their opportunities decreasing right now,” McCarthy said, per\u00a0Jon Machota of The Athletic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It’s a great place to be. It gives us excellent depth. That’s a hell of a situation to be in.”<\/p>\n

Elliott has seen his role drastically decrease since Week 1, while Dowdle has emerged into the lead back but has had underwhelming production.<\/p>\n

With the stingy Steelers defense on the schedule for Week 5, the Cowboys could once again struggle to move the ball on the ground.<\/p>\n

If that is the case, the team must make a move. Whether that comes in Week 6 against the Detroit Lions or after the team’s bye week, Dallas has to make a change and do anything to find a spark to help the offense as a whole.<\/p>\n

We’re all-in, right?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
