The Buffalo Bills will be without running back James Cook on Monday night due to a toe injury.
Cook will miss his first NFL game in three seasons, sitting out Monday Night Football’s game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
Ty Johnson and Ray Davis are likely to handle the bulk of the carries in Cook’s absence, but the Bills also promoted Frank Gore Jr. which ended after the 2020 season. Frank Gore Sr. he was a five-time Pro Bowler who spent 16 seasons in the NFL, most of them with the San Francisco 49ers.
Gore Jr. had been on the practice squad and will make his NFL debut after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of Southern Mississippi in May.
The 22-year-old finished his college career as the No. 3 rusher in Southern Miss history with 4,022 yards, catching 75 passes for 692 receiving yards.
Cook leads the Bills this season with 309 yards rushing and four touchdowns.
