With time to heal before the regular season begins, discussions will now to turn to how much on-field time the rookie misses.
The Buffalo Bills have placed rookie defensive end Landon Jackson on the “active-physically unable to perform [PUP] list,” per a report by Aaron Wilson. No further information was provided at the time of Wilson’s social media news brief.

Jackson landing on PUP likely means he was injured during mandatory minicamp or some other point thereafter at team facilities. While reports on new injuries are never preferred, the good news is that there’s plenty of time for Jackson to return to the field ahead of the regular season while relegated to active-PUP status.
Shortly after Wilson’s tweet, Matt Parrino shared one of his own that elaborated a bit further about the timeline. Per Parrino, “A league source tells me the team is hopeful he’ll be ready for the start of practice next week.”

The Bills drafted Landon Jackson during Round 3 (72nd overall pick) of the 2025 NFL Draft. A tough well-rounded edge defender for Arkansas, Jackson was viewed as a textbook player for Buffalo’s defensive scheme given his size (6’6”, 264 pounds; 33 1/4” arms, 10” hands) and proficiency as a run defender with added value as an occasional pass rusher.
