Bills' James Cook: Back at practice

Cook (illness) was back on the field for practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Cook sat out Wednesday's session, but the running back's return to the field a day later seemingly has him on a path to being available Saturday against the Chargers. Later Thursday, the Bills will post their final Week 16 injury report, which will reveal whether Cook carries a questionable tag into Saturday's contest or if he avoids a designation entirely.
