What channel is the Bills game on? How to watch Buffalo Bills vs Chicago Bears
The drama surrounding Cook's hold in came to an end Wednesday, one day after he had returned to practice, when he signed his four-year contract extension that included a whopping $30 million in guaranteed money.
After missing four practices and the preseason opener last Saturday against the Giants, Cook has fallen behind in season preparation. All of the starters who weren't injured played into the second quarter against New York, so while Cook will get work along with all the first-stringer players Friday when the teams conduct a joint practice at Halas Hall, he may see game action Sunday.
When he spoke to reporters Tuesday morning, coach Sean McDermott had not decided on what the game-day lineup would look like.
'We'll see,' he said. 'I'm not there yet on it, I just want to get a big practice (Tuesday) to get through and then (Wednesday) and then as a staff we'll talk about it some more at that point in time.'

Coffe-lover Atmane felt the buzz from Cincinnati breakthrough
French qualifier Terence Atmane said his Saturday Cincinnati Open semi-final against world number one Jannik Sinner will remain his brightest tennis memory despite absorbing a 7-6 (7/4), 6-2 loss to the defending champion. The 23-year-old who credits mental training with helping him evolve from a racquet-smashing Tour wild child to a serious contender, defines himself as something of a tennis Renaissance man, with a multitude of interests off the court. "I'm a tennis player but I also collect Pokemon cards and always look for good coffee places on the tour," he said. "I love Japanese culture and food. "I have three cats waiting for me at home in France. I like space, the universe and this world that we live in." While he donned a local Cincinnati Reds baseball cap after wins over top 10 opponents Taylor Fritz and Holger Rune this week, Atmane said he would won't have time to take up an invitation from some fans to attend a game. "I have to get to New York as soon as possible," he said post-match. The number 136 who will rise inside the top 70 after this event, called his showing "absolutely insane. "I can't believe I played the semi-finals here," he said. "Today will be a good memory for me which I will remember for a long time." Atmane recounts how a change earlier this season also meant a change in his previously suspect attitude. "I'm still the same guy I was, but one who is different mentally, I've worked a lot to stabilise myself, trying to make my mental stronger than my emotions. "I think that is the key for me to reach a higher level." The Frenchman presented Sinner with a Pokemon card from his collection of the Japanese trading cards as a 24th birthday present before their match. "I had to give Jannik something, it's his birthday," he said. "I had brought some from France. I'm a collector - it was the perfect gift." Atmane then put up a poised fight in the opening set before Sinner pulled away in the second for victory. "He was just better than me," Atmane said. "He took all the responsibility in the second set and he was able to play his game. "If it's the world number one then its over already. I fought hard to hold my serve in the first set, but after seven matches my body was tired." str/bb

Rookie Cade Cavalli earns first MLB victory as Nationals beat NL East-leading Phillies 2-0
WASHINGTON (AP) — Cade Cavalli earned his first major league victory, James Wood hit a two-run double, and the Washington Nationals defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0 on Saturday. Cavalli struck out five and scattered seven hits over seven innings for Washington. The last-place Nationals have won three of four. Trea Turner had three hits for NL East-leading Philadelphia, which was shut out for the eighth time this season and lost for the fourth time in five games. Cavalli (1-0) was Washington's first-round pick in the 2020 amateur draft and debuted in August 2022. He made only one start with the Nationals because of a shoulder injury, and didn't make it back to the majors until Aug. 6, after undergoing Tommy John surgery in 2023. In his third start with Washington this season, Cavalli allowed only one runner to reach third. The 27-year-old right-hander retired the final eight batters he faced and needed only 90 pitches for the longest outing of his career. Washington didn't get a runner past second against Phillies starter Taijuan Walker (4-6) until the fifth inning, when Dylan Crews walked and moved to third on Brady House's single. Both runners scored when Wood doubled into the gap in right-center. Jose Ferrer pitched two innings for his second save. After J.T. Realmuto singled with one out in the ninth and advanced to second on an error by Wood, Ferrer got Brandon Marsh to ground out on one pitch and then struck out Harrison Bader to end it. Walker allowed two runs in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out three. Key moment With runners on the corners in the fourth, Cavalli coaxed Max Kepler's double-play grounder to shortstop to escape the jam. Key stat Cavalli has not allowed a run in 11 1/3 innings over two home starts this season. Up next Philadelphia RHP Aaron Nola (1-7, 6.16 ERA) comes off the injured list to make his first start since May 14. He faces Washington LHP Mitchell Parker (7-13, 5.55) as the four-game series concludes Sunday. ___ AP MLB:
