Bills RB James Cook struggled to find running room in Sunday’s surprising loss at Miami. Buffalo’s lead back posted just 4.1 yards per carry against a unit that entered as one of the worst run defenses on the season.

Bills RB James Cook (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 10 injury report. He went from no practice on Wednesday to limited on Thursday to full participation on Friday.

Bills RB James Cook (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That's a good sign for his Week 10 availability, but we'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for the Dolphins game. RBs Ray Davis and Ty Johnson remain worth stashing if you have the roster space.

Bills RB James Cook did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with foot and ankle injuries. He carried 27 times in the Week 9 win over the Chiefs, including on Buffalo's final offensive snap. So this could be more of a rest day for Cook. But we'll look for further updates on his status and see if he practices tomorrow. RB Ty Johnson has played ahead of RB Ray Davis all season, so we'd project something close to a 50/50 backfield split if Cook ends up missing Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid posted 100+ yards for the second time over his past three games. Kincaid hit 101 yards vs. the Chiefs, catching all 6 targets while scoring on Josh Allen's only passing TD.

Bills RB Ty Johnson played well ahead of RB Ray Davis in Thursday night's win over the Dolphins. Johnson out-snapped Davis 15 to 4, playing more on early downs (7 snaps to 3) and third downs (4 to 0). Johnson finished with 3 carries for 13 yards, plus 1 catch on 2 targets for eight yards. Davis didn't record a carry and failed to catch his only target.

RB James Cook carried 21 times for 132 yards and 2 TD as the Buffalo Bills cruised past the hapless New York Jets 30-10. Buffalo relied on their rushing attack, leading to a quiet outing for QB Josh Allen, who threw for only 148 scoreless yards. Allen rushed 6 times for 59 yards in a game where the Bills controlled the clock and rushed for 224 yards and 3 TD.

Bills RB James Cook (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 2 injury report. He popped up as limited on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Cook is safe to keep in fantasy lineups.

Bills RB James Cook (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, after being limited on Wednesday. Cook should be ready for his usual role against the Jets on Sunday and can stay in Week 2 fantasy lineups.

Bills RB James Cook was limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring issue. We don't have any other details, but it's a positive sign that Cook was able to get on the field at all this early in the week. He can stay penciled into Week 2 fantasy lineups for now, but his status bears monitoring over the next few days. RB Ray Davis remains one of the highest-upside handcuffs in fantasy football and should remain stashed on fantasy benches despite a quiet Week 1.

The Bills and RB James Cook have agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal with $30 million guaranteed, according to his agent. That makes Cook the league's sixth highest paid RB in average annual salary, just ahead of Kyren Williams' new deal at $11 million per year.

Bills RB James Cook was back on the practice field on Tuesday. He participated at the start of camp but then staged a "hold-in" for a little over a week, which included Buffalo's preseason opener. We're frankly not sure what Cook's strategy is here, or if he has any intention of sitting out regular-season games without a new contract. We'll continue to keep a close eye on the situation. For now, we're projecting Cook to play the entire season. See where he lands in the RB rankings.

Bills RB James Cook wasn't practicing Sunday. When asked why, he simply stood on "business". He has been seeking a new contract, but decided not to hold out. Cook has practiced sparingly during training camp, but could be moving to a "hold in" with no new progress on the deal.

The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia does not expect Bills RB James Cook's role to change this season, based on what he's seen in camp so far. Cook is reportedly pushing for more third-down snaps, but "the Bills may not feel the need to fix what isn’t broken, as their running back results were outstanding last season," Buscaglia writes.

Despite concern heading into camp that RB James Cook would "hold in" as he pursues a big contract extension, ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reports that he has "fully participated" through the first two days of Bills training camp. That should keep him on track to remain the lead back for this season, but it sure doesn't sound like the two sides are headed for an extension agreement.

Bills RB James Cook reported for Tuesday's minicamp session and was a full participant, according to ESPN's Alaina Gretzenberg. Cook, who's entering the final year of his rookie deal, skipped OTAs earlier this offseason as he angles for a new contract. But he told the media on Tuesday that he plans to show up for the start of training camp next month. “In order to compete for a Super Bowl and have a winning season, I have to be out there with my teammates," Cook said.
