Ravens hope Dalvin Cook can impact playoffs

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- It sounds like Dalvin Cook will have a chance to go from signing with the Baltimore Ravens practice squad last week to becoming an impact running back in the postseason.

The Ravens' running backs created an opportunity for Cook to have a meaningful role in the playoffs with how they finished the season. Baltimore's current backs -- Gus Edwards, Melvin Gordon III and Justice Hill -- have not been explosive, combining to average four yards per carry over the last seven games.

There have been ball security issues, too.
