How will Cook's body react after touching the football 385 times last season in Buffalo's 19 games that counted? That's really the only question that needs answering, as Cook III had been "babied" a bit in terms of his snap counts and his touches prior to last season, especially in comparison to the big jump in both categories that he took last season.

Cook's durability in question after 385 touches; source expects potential workload management.

The source questions how Cook's body will react after 385 total touches (carries and receptions) across 19 games in 2025, a nearly 100-touch jump from 2024; while Cook has shown durability and a penchant for avoiding big hits, the source wonders if the Bills will manage his workload with fewer carries this season to mitigate the cumulative beating.
