Buffalo Bills running back James Cook resumed practicing, ending — temporarily, at least — his “hold-in” as part of a contract standoff that began on Aug. 3

In a turn of events, Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is back practicing with the team. The two-time Pro Bowler decided to change his status from full participant to training camp "hold-in" earlier this month as he continues to search for a contract extension, but he was seen taking reps at Tuesday's practice.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook was back on the field with teammates on Tuesday, a welcome sign amid a continued contract dispute with the team. Cook’s return followed a series of hold-ins that saw him miss the final week of training camp at St. John Fisher University and Buffalo’s first preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
