BUFFALO, N.Y. -- As the Buffalo Bills took to the practice field for the team's mandatory minicamp, all eyes were on running back James Cook.

The only noticeable difference from a typical practice came from the nameplate change on the back of Cook's jersey. His name now read in full: "Cook III," which he sometimes wore during his time at Georgia, but not yet in the NFL. The change, something he'd been meaning to do, came this year once the necessary documents were complete with the league.

The start of mandatory minicamp was the first time the change was on display after Cook missed the voluntary portion of the team's offseason program as he seeks a contract extension.
