Landon Jackson isn't just fighting for playing time anymore. He might actually be fighting for a starting job with the Buffalo Bills. Jackson entered training camp working his way back from injury, learning Jim Leonhard's defense and adjusting to a new position. But Leonhard said Jackson eventually started to “own” the areas where he needed to improve. Now we're seeing it translate. Jackson started against Carolina and then reportedly generated a tackle for loss during red-zone work in Buffalo's joint practice against Cleveland. Even the Bills' own preview has raised the possibility that another strong performance could put Jackson into consideration for a starting role. That's a massive jump. Plus, Jordan Hancock is making his own push for Buffalo's final 53. After recording four tackles and two tackles for loss against Carolina, Hancock intercepted Deshaun Watson during joint practice against Cleveland. His versatility in the secondary could make his roster case even stronger. Saturday isn't about Josh Allen or Buffalo's established stars. It's about players like Landon Jackson and Jordan Hancock proving they deserve significant roles on this team. #BuffaloBills #BillsMafia #LandonJackson #JordanHancock #JimLeonhard #NFL
