The Buffalo Bills have hat a noteworthy first two weeks of training camp, largely for reasons they wouldn't want. For starters, they have a laundry list of injuries. And while most of them have been non-serious, two injuries have taken place in the last week.

Cornerback Max Hairston suffered a knee injury that will keep him out for multiple weeks, and wide receiver Khalil Shakir suffered a high ankle sprain that could cause him to miss Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. Now, the Bills are dealing with yet another issue.

Running back James Cook sat out of practice on Sunday, marking the first practice he's missed this offseason in the midst of a contract dispute with the team. When asked why he sat out, Cook simply replied, "business." General manager Brandon Beane was asked about the situation on Monday, and he put the pressure back on Cook.

“We tried to get something done with Jimbo," Beane said. "But unfortunately it takes two."

As the saga continues, the Bills will hope to get something done with Cook and lock him down long-term.
