Cook, Hawkins back at practice 

CINCINNATI- Center Kyle Cook made his regular-season practice debut Wednesday, and injured wide receiver Andrew Hawkins also returned to action. 

Cook suffered an ankle injury in the third preseason game and was placed on Injured Reserve with the designation for return. His appearance at practice today begins a three-week clock in which the Bengals must add him to the 53-man roster or shelve him for the season. 

“\We knew for a couple weeks now that this would be the week,” Cook said. “I saw the doctor again yesterday and just double-checked some things. Everything is good to go. Now we just take it day by day and see how it feels. 

“I’m real eager. Obviously, as eager as I am to get on the field and play, I also want to make sure I’m ready — for myself, for my team and for everybody. Do I feel like I could play tomorrow? Yeah. But can I really? I don’t know yet. I haven’t really done much. It will be one of those things where obviously I probably won’t play until coaches feel like I can or make sure I’m healthy enough and if there’s an opportunity for me to play.”
