Dalvin Cook’s jersey number has been disclosed by the Cowboys.
We now know the number that Dalvin Cook will wear in Big D as he joins the Dallas Cowboys practice squad. Cook mocked the No. 4 he wore at Florida State after signing with the Cowboys this week. Naturally, Cook isn’t going to enter and take the team’s franchise quarterback’s number—Dak Prescott—from him.
The four-time Pro Bowler began his career wearing No. 33 with the Minnesota Vikings, but after the NFL revised its jersey number policy, he switched back to No. 4. He then wore No. 33 with the New York Jets and No. 31 with the Baltimore Ravens. What number is he going to wear in Dallas, then?
Now that Tony Pollard signed a free agent contract with the Tennessee Titans throughout the summer, we have our answer. Yes, Dalvin Cook will play for the Cowboys wearing No. 20.
Now that we know the answer to that query, it’s time to consider the possibility that we won’t see that No. 20 on the field this season on gameday. Throughout the season, Cook can be promoted to the 53-man roster three times by the Cowboys before they are forced to either dismiss him or make the move permanent. It seems likely that he will be called upon at least once in 2024.
