James Cook out, Khalil Shakir in vs. Jets RB ruled out due to toe injury By: Doug Orth | Oct 14 2024, 6:50 pm
Another Monday night inactive surprise at RB: James Cook is out tonight due to his toe injury, per source. It’s the first NFL game in three seasons that Cook has missed. WR Khalil Shakir is active. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take:Once the Bills elevated Frank Gore Jr. earlier in the day, the writing appeared to be on the wall for Gore. As it stands, Buffalo figures to roll with Ray Davis and Ty Johnson in Cook's absence. As far as Shakir is concerned, he should have no issue resuming his role as Josh Allen's top target. His biggest hurdle figures to be a stingy Jets' pass defense that will likely be even more amped for DC Jeff Ulbrich - the team's new interim head coach.
