Buffalo Bills coach Joe Brady says there will be “consequences” for running back James Cook if he continues to fumble, including the possibility of fewer touches and reduced playing time. The warning follows recent ball-security problems involving Cook.
Across reports, Cook is described as having multiple fumbles this season, including two lost fumbles in Buffalo’s Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Rams. CBS Sports also notes Cook has four fumbles total for the year, a statistic echoed by Yahoo Sports. Yahoo similarly reports Brady’s message that Cook’s performance must improve to avoid a decline in carries. The outlets frame Brady’s comments as a direct accountability measure tied to ball security rather than a broader injury or roster change.
