    Latest updates on Bills RB

    Buffalo Bills running back James Cook suffered an injury late in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans in Week 5.

    The star running back left the game after hitting his foot on the ground while jumping down the sideline for a catch. Cook did not play on the game’s final drive.

    Cook is off to an excellent start to the 2024 season. Since Joe Brady took over the playcalling, he has been the identity of the Bills offense along with Josh Allen. He is a clear focal point of the attack and had 22 touches in the game against Houston before the injury.

    Here’s the latest on the Bills running back’s status:

    James Cook returned to practice Saturday and plans to play the Bills’ “Monday Night Football” game against the New York Jets.

    Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters he was injured in the game against Houston.

    Cook’s injury appeared to happen toward the end of the fourth quarter when he jumped up and tried to make a catch along the sideline. His left foot rams the turf, where he could have suffered the toe injury.

    The team has not provided any further updates on the severity of the possible sprain at this time.

    Bills RB depth chart

    The Bills have two running backs on the current roster behind Cook. Veteran Ty Johnson and rookie fourth-round pick Ray Davis will be asked to step up if Cook misses time. Davis thinks he’s the next man up, even though Johnson played all three snaps after Cook left against the Texans.

    Johnson is in his seventh season and is likely a more trusted option in pass protection and passing situations. Coming out of Kentucky, Davis was viewed as a three-down back due to his size and ability to run between the tackles.

    James Cook Stats

    • 309 rushing yards (15th)
    • 4 rushing TDs (tied 2nd)
    • 11 receptions (23rd among RBs)
    • 123 receiving yards (14th among RBs)
    • 1 receiving TD
