The Buffalo Bills have made a notable move ahead of their training camp by placing rookie defensive end Landon Jackson on the active/physically unable to perform (PUP) list. This decision was made public through the league’s daily transaction wire, although the specific reason for Jackson’s placement on the list has not been disclosed.
The PUP designation allows Jackson to return to practice at any point during training camp, offering some flexibility for the coaching staff. However, if he remains on the PUP list through the roster cut deadline, he would be required to miss the initial weeks of the regular season. The Bills selected Jackson in the third round of the draft, 72nd overall, after a standout college career at Arkansas.
Buffalo is among six teams whose rookies reported for training camp on Tuesday, alongside the Seahawks, 49ers, Giants, Dolphins, and Ravens. The development of rookies like Jackson will be vital as the Bills look to retain their competitiveness in the upcoming season.
Overall, this news highlights the Bills’ commitment to building a strong roster, despite potential setbacks with player readiness. Fans will be optimistic that Jackson can recover quickly and make his mark on the team as training camp progresses.
