James Cook’s hold in has come to an end, at least temporarily. After warming up in the Bills preseason game on Saturday, Cook returned to practice today after voluntarily sitting out the last four practices @WKBW #BillsMafia pic.twitter.com/NyGchL1SZB

Bills running back James Cook has ended his hold-in. Cook returned to practice on Tuesday, dressed in a helmet and pads during warmups, per multiple reporters on the scene.

While McDermott made it clear that the team is the focus, and that when a player is focused on themselves, they are, for better or worse, not actively or at least fully a part of the team, given recent events Cook getting back out there in uniform is a good sign and hopefully a step in the right direction.
