PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills running back James Cook came out to St. John Fisher University on Sunday afternoon but did not participate in a mandatory practice for the first time since seeking a contract extension this offseason.
After practice when talking to a group of three reporters, Cook was asked why he did not participate.
"Oh, nothing. Business."
Cook was asked if it was his choice not to practice on Sunday, if he was holding in and if he planned to practice tomorrow. To those questions, he said simply, "Business."
The Bills said, "no comment," when asked about Cook, who is in the final year of his rookie deal, not participating in Sunday's practice.
