What channel is the Bills game on? How to watch Buffalo Bills vs Chicago Bears
ORCHARD PARK - Now that James Cook is signed to a new contract extension, the Buffalo Bills star running back might get a few snaps Sunday night against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. 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.'

James Cook returns to practice after sitting out in contract dispute: What we know
ORCHARD PARK - Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott would not get into the specifics, but he did say Tuesday morning that he expected running back James Cook to practice for the first time in more than a week. And sure enough, Cook was on the field when the Bills began their session on the fields behind the practice facility at One Bills Drive. McDermott 'expected' Cook to practice every day of the fourth-year player's hold in, but that of course did not happen, and Cook also skipped the Bills' preseason opener Saturday. He agreed to put on the uniform and go through the warmup, but he made it clear he was not playing as he continued his protest regarding his lack of a contract extension. But McDermott indicated that discussions over the weekend between the team and Cook's representation have pushed things in the direction of Cook getting back on the field. Whether that means a resolution to the contract situation is imminent is unknown. 'I would say so that things have changed,' McDermott said. 'We've had conversations with James, good conversations, as I've mentioned before. And the information that we're getting is that he is moving in the direction of practicing today. So, we'll see in a few minutes here, but that's the information we've got.' Asked whether Cook told him that directly, McDermott said, 'I don't think it's necessary to get into the weeds on it. The most important thing is that he's expected to practice, and I'm rather confident that that's going to happen.' Cook participated in the bulk of the practice including reps with the full team in 11-on-11, but when the session was done, he walked right past reporters without saying a word. Josh Allen said he understands Cook's situation, but it was still good to get him back. 'As players, we have to separate sometimes the business and the sport,' he said. 'I know both sides thought that what they're doing is the right thing. Obviously, we're very happy to have Jimbo out there today, and I trust in (Brandon) Beane and what he's going to get done. 'Just to have him out there and getting those reps and making sure that he's getting ready to go for game one, we had no doubts that he wouldn't be ready, but to be out there with the guys and sweating and battling in practice, I think it's good for the team.'
