Buffalo Bills coach Joe Brady said Tuesday, Oct. 13, that James Cook could lose carries if his ball security does not improve. Cook fumbled twice in the Bills’ 37-34 overtime win over the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, Oct. 12, including on Buffalo’s opening possession of overtime.

Brady said he still had confidence in Cook and put him back into the game after the fumble. ESPN reported that Cook has fumbled four times this season and 11 times since the start of 2025, including postseason games.
