‘I’d expect Cook’s snap count to go up slightly – let’s put it somewhere between 55% and 60% of the offensive snaps. Keep in mind, he missed a game last year because of injury and wasn’t needed much in the meaningless Week 18 game against New England, so he would have had a higher snap count. The Bills have said they believe he is a three-down back. Now, it’s time for both sides to prove that. I agree with your point, Jeff, that the Bills struck a good balance with their running game last year, so they shouldn’t feel forced to use Cook a great deal more than they did in 2024. As for the impact of missing a week of practice, I’d say it’s not consequential to the season. Plenty of other players have missed more time than that because of injury. Cook was still in the meetings and preparing for the season in other ways. He’ll be just fine.’
