James Cook III Injury Status

Buffalo Bills • RB
Latest Injury Status
active
A

Cook gave the Bills some breathing room with a five-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to extend Buffalo's lead to 23-10. He was evaluated for a head injury later in the game but received clearance to return and notched one more carry after that point. After being held to 57 rushing yards without a touchdown by the Texans in Week 1, Cook has rushed for at least 75 yards and a touchdown in six consecutive games. Extending that streak won't be easy in Week 9 against Minnesota's elite defense on MNF.
