James Cook returns to practice with the Buffalo Bills after suspension

• James Cook returns to practice after a two-week suspension.
• Negotiations regarding the contract remain ongoing.
• Cook has become one of the leaders in the NFL in terms of touchdowns last season.

Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott expects that James Cook will return to practice this week after a two-week "suspension" as part of ongoing contract negotiations. Cook, who is one of the leaders in the NFL in terms of touchdowns, missed some training starting from September 3, when he decided not to participate in practices related to his desire to secure a new contract.

McDermott noted that he communicated with Cook and received positive information about his readiness to practice. After Cook missed four practices, he appeared at the pre-game warm-up before the matchup against the New York Giants, but declined to play.

Cook, who scored 16 touchdowns last season, will become a key agent in the upcoming season. In negotiations about the new contract, there were difficulties, and currently, his asking price is hovering between $11 million to $12.5 million.

Despite the uncertainty in negotiations, McDermott expressed confidence that Cook will return to active training. Cook also mentioned that his situation is "business as usual," but the details remain unknown.
