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.

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 returned to practice on Tuesday for the first time since he began sitting out on Aug. 3 for what he told reporters were "business" reasons.
