Buffalo Bills running back James Cook may be prepared to return for the start of mandatory minicamp, despite a report to the contrary.

The situation between James Cook and the Buffalo Bills could get worse if the franchise continues to draw a line in the sand.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook already skipped OTAs and may not attend mandatory minicamp amid an ongoing contract dispute. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Cook is "unhappy" with his situation and "disconnected" himself from the team and the city of Buffalo ahead of the 2025 season.
