Landon Jackson Injury Update: Bills Rookie Says He's ‘Fully Good to Go' for NFL Training Camp 2025
The Buffalo Bills' third-round draft pick Landon Jackson has officially shut down doubts about his health status ahead of training camp. Days after being placed on the active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list due to an undisclosed injury, Jackson made a high-energy appearance at MafiaCon 2025 and confirmed what fans and coaches were hoping to hear — he's ready.
The rookie defensive end, expected to be a key part of Buffalo's defensive front, is now set to fully participate when camp opens at St. John Fisher.
PUP list no longer a concern for Bills rookie
The Bills raised eyebrows on July 15 by placing Jackson on the PUP list before camp began, sparking speculation about a potential lingering offseason issue. With no official details released, fans and analysts questioned whether the 6-foot-6, 264-pound edge rusher would miss valuable early reps.
But just days later, while speaking to Trainwreck Sports at MafiaCon, Jackson confirmed that he's healthy and set to go.
'I'm ready to get going… I'm gonna be fully good to go for camp. So I am really excited about it.'
For Head Coach Sean McDermott and Defensive Coordinator Bobby Babich, it's a major relief. Jackson was one of the most athletic edge prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft — recording a 4.68-second 40-yard dash and a 40.5-inch vertical jump — both elite for his position.
Buffalo invested $6.62 million in his rookie deal, including $1.45 million guaranteed, with hopes that he'd contribute immediately.
MafiaCon 2025 doubled as a statement moment
While MafiaCon is known for fanfare and beer-fueled table dives, this year's event doubled as a news break. Jackson, appearing comfortable and confident, mingled with fans, soaked in the Bills Mafia energy, and casually delivered the camp update that had social media buzzing. 'Really enjoyed… you know getting to meet all the Bills Mafia, interacting with the fans… it has been great.
I've really enjoyed it — a great community.
'
The public appearance also gave Jackson a chance to display his personality — something that doesn't always show on tape. With a calm yet assured demeanor, he handled questions about his body and readiness with maturity well beyond his years, matching the high-character profile Buffalo's staff praised on draft night.
Jackson aims to be more than just depth in 2025
Beyond the athletic numbers, Buffalo believes they drafted a long-term defensive piece.
W
ith 16 career sacks and close to 28 tackles for loss in college, Jackson's productivity mirrors his potential. Babich previously highlighted his 'three-down upside' and mental sharpness. Jackson, however, is focusing on something simpler first. 'Personal goal? For starters, earn the trust of my teammates and coaches… that's the only way as a rookie you can get on the field and excel,' he told Trainwreck Sports.

Jalen Hurts continues to prove critics wrong as Philadelphia Eagles quarterback prioritizes championships over rankings
Jalen Hurts (via Getty Images) Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is under the radar in league circles despite having a résumé that includes a Super Bowl championship, MVP award, and gaudy win-loss record. ESPN's most recent quarterback rankings, personally curated by NFL executives, coaches, and scouts, left Hurts at No. 9—behind less successful names but Jalen Hurts keeps demonstrating that for him, winning—and not awards or rankings—is the sole statistic that counts. Jalen Hurts ranks behind less seasoned quarterbacks in newest NFL poll Jalen Hurts' Philadelphia Eagles career has been marked by persistence, accomplishments, and ongoing development. All this notwithstanding, in ESPN's annual quarterback list that considers feedback from NFL executives, coaches, and scouts, Hurts ranks at nine on the list—after rookies and veterans who have not even reached anywhere near him as far as playoff games are concerned. It is simple to overlook that Jalen Hurts, the second-round draft pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, has broken not only expectations but records as well. He took the Philadelphia Eagles to back-to-back Super Bowl appearances in his first five years, capturing Super Bowl LIX and Super Bowl MVP along the way. His play in the two Super Bowl championship games, especially his ground control, broke NFL records, such as most rushing yards by a quarterback in a Super Bowl (72) and most total touchdowns by a QB in two Super Bowl firsts (seven). Jalen Hurts Answers More Fans' Questions Despite all these accomplishments, Jalen Hurts is underrated by some league decision-makers, perhaps because he doesn't have top-10 draft pick potential or the string of changing offensive playcallers he's had to work with. In his six years in Philly, Hurts has had a new offensive coordinator almost every year but has been extremely consistent—despite that, he was a 2022 MVP runner-up and owns a 6-3 playoff record. Matthew Stafford only owns one ring but with fewer playoff victories than Jalen Hurts Hurts' postseason performances in 2024 were a leadership and efficiency masterclass. He had 726 passing yards, a 71.4% completion percentage, and a total of six touchdowns, only six, on a single interception. His fourth-quarter heroics after the bye solidified him as one of the league's best under pressure—touting an NFL-leading 132.5 passer rating in such situations. More impressively, Hurts is the sole NFL quarterback with 10 playoff passing and 10 playoff rushing touchdowns. The Eagles possess a clean record when Hurts starts and completes a game since Week 5 in the 2024 season. Also read: Jalen Hurts sparks backlash for not wearing Super Bowl ring Whereas gaudy statistics and fantasy football nuggets usually define quarterback talk, Hurts is different for one extremely fundamental reason: he wins. Throughout the regular season and playoffs, his win-loss record will be higher than his draft number or media darling status. FAQs What is Jalen Hurts most known for? Jalen Hurts is a quarterback for Philadelphia Eagles. When was Jalen Hurts born? Jalen Hurts was born on August 7, 1998. Where was Jalen Hurts born? Houston, Texas, US.
