- Buffalo enters Sunday at 4-1, and the injury report gives Las Vegas at least a reason to look for an opening.
- The Bills’ first report of the week listed 15 players, and reports have pointed to wide receiver DJ Moore and defensive tackle Ed Oliver as possible absences.
- Cook has gone over 100 rushing yards in three of Buffalo’s five games.
- He had 111 yards and two touchdowns against the Rams in Week 5, and he has 532 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 95 carries this season, averaging 5.6 yards per rush.

- It is to make sure Buffalo cannot keep both Allen and Cook active as separate problems.
