Short answer: Yes, James Cook is expected to play in Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins, with reports indicating he was limited in practice earlier in the week but listed with no injury designation by game day. Details
- Injury status: Cook ankle issue surfaced midweek, but multiple outlets reported he was on track to play and carried a limited practice on Thursday before Friday's final updates. By Friday, several sources noted he was not on the injury report, implying he’d be active for the game. This aligns with the Bills design to manage workload without keeping him out if possible.
- Week 10 matchup: Bills vs. Dolphins, Sunday at 1 p.m. ET. The consensus from recent updates is that Buffalo plans to rely on Cook, especially given the offense’s need for a dynamic multipurpose back in that divisional clash.
- Fantasy and usage notes: Projections and injury updates consistently indicated Cook’s role would remain strong, with many guides expecting him to be an RB1 option if active. If he were limited or unavailable, Treylon Davis/Jaylen Ty Johnson would be the fallback, but the prevailing view is Cook plays and handles a significant workload.
What this means for you
- If you’re a fantasy manager: Plan on Cook being active and high-usage, but monitor late-week reports (Friday/Saturday) for any last-minute designation changes. If you own him, expect a heavy workload typical of his recent games.
- If you’re following the Bills: Expect Cook to be featured in Buffalo’s rushing and receiving game plans against Miami, with the offense leaning on his versatility to attack the Dolphins’ defense.
