Dalvin Cook will wear this jersey number with the Dallas Cowboys
Dalvin Cook is joining the Dallas Cowboys as a member of the practice squad and we now know what number he will wear in Big D.
Cook signed with the Cowboys this week and immediately teased the No. 4 which he wore at Florida State.
Of course, Dak Prescott wears No. 4, so Cook isn’t going to come in and take that number from the team’s franchise quarterback.

The four-time Pro Bowler started his career with the Minnesota Vikings wearing No. 33 before switching back to No. 4 when the NFL changed its jersey number rules but returned to No. 33 with the New York Jets and No. 31 with the Baltimore Ravens.
So, what number will he wear in Dallas?

We now have our answer and it’s a number that was vacated during the offseason when Tony Pollard signed with the Tennessee Titans in free agency.
That’s right, Dalvin Cook will wear No. 20 for the Cowboys.
Now tha we have the answer to that question, it’s time to wonder whether we will ever see that No. 20 on the field during gameday this season.
The Cowboys can elevate Cook to the 53-man roster three times throughout the season before they must make his move to the 53 permanent or release him.
You’d have to imagine he will get the call up at least once in 2024.
