James Cook returned to practice on Tuesday despite contract negotiations, and quarterback Josh Allen is thrilled about it.

James Cook returned to practice Tuesday amid his contract dispute with the Buffalo Bills, appearing to at least pause the star running back's hold-in. Cook was in full uniform and began the session fully participating.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has been a training camp hold-in with No. 4 wanting a new contract before stepping foot on the practice field, and so far, he’s been a bystander. Cook didn’t even participate in warm-ups prior to the first preseason game against the New York Giants as he still awaited a new contract.
