Buffalo and star running back James Cook agreed to a four-year contract extension, the team announced Wednesday — a deal worth a reported $48 million with $30 million guaranteed, NFL Network reported.

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.
