The New York Jets are set to officially part ways with star running back Dalvin Cook, with the announcement expected to be made on Wednesday. Cook will then have to clear waivers in order to become a free agent on Thursday afternoon.

According to reports from Josina Anderson of CBS Sports, two teams that are expected to show interest in Cook if he clears waivers are the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys. Anderson reveals that the Ravens are particularly keen on adding Cook to their practice squad, as they currently have a need due to injuries.

The Ravens' J.K. Dobbins and Keaton Mitchell are both on injured reserve, which has created a void in their running back depth chart. As a result, Cook is seen as a potential solution to address this issue.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys also have their eyes on Cook as they placed third-string running back Deuce Vaughn on injured reserve. With Malik Davis on the practice squad, Dallas is looking to fortify their running back options behind Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle. Dowdle, who missed last week's game due to an ankle injury, could benefit from some added depth.

When asked about the possibility of adding Cook to the Cowboys' roster, head coach Mike McCarthy expressed his admiration for the talented running back. McCarthy acknowledged the great respect he has for Cook, having faced him numerous times during his tenure as head coach of the Green Bay Packers.

As the waiver process unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Cook will secure his release and become an unrestricted free agent. Both the Ravens and Cowboys are keeping a close eye on this situation, eager to bolster their running back corps with a player of Cook's caliber.

In the days to come, football fans will be watching closely to see where Dalvin Cook lands and the impact he could have on his new team.
