NFL Trade Rumors
Bills QB Josh Allen spoke about the importance of getting RB James Cook back on the field as soon as possible and is ready for his contract to get done.
“James is one of the best running backs in the league and we desperately want him out there with us,” Allen told reporters on Thursday, via Alex Bratsky of Bills Digest. “Hopefully something can get done. . . . It’s generational wealth. . . . It’s making sure he’s healthy. . . . He knows what he’s doing.”
Jets QB Justin Fields has struggled in training camp thus far, including throwing three interceptions in practice earlier this week. Fields thinks their early woes provide a good opportunity to improve.
“Some of it’s me, some of it’s dropping the ball,” Fields said, via Rich Cimini of ESPN. “It’s plain and simple things. Our guys are talented enough to get the job done. When we have the days we don’t want to have, it’s how we respond. Days like this — a day we didn’t want to have — it’s a great opportunity to see how we’re going to respond on Thursday [in the next practice].”
Fields is confident that more reps and time on the field will help their offense’s development.
“I think we at least need to see the field each and every game,” Fields said. “I think that would be good for our team, I think it would be good for Tanner [Engstrand, the offensive coordinator] and the end-game stuff, and it would be good for me. The guys on offense, I know some guys, they sit out the whole preseason. I don’t think that will be the case for us, just because it’s a new team, new offense and stuff like that. That’s how I feel about the situation.”
Aaron Glenn doesn’t have any concerns about their offense at this point in training camp.
“I don’t [have concern] because it’s early right now,” Glenn said. “I’m looking at Week 1, right? We have a long time until we get to that point and, with the type of men that we have, I know all our men are going to pick it up and get it done. So I’m not worried at all.”
