The RB played 17 matches last campaign, rushed for 1,173 yards, and had 8 TDs on 264 possessions. Cook also finished with 39 receptions for almost 300 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Dalvin had shoulder surgery after the end of the season to fix a ‘broken shoulder’ that he broke back in 2019. The RB will be fully recovered for the start of the new NFL season.
