HC Sean McDermott Hands Down Harsh Punishment After Bills Rookie DT Skips Final Team Meeting Before Preseason Finale

Orchard Park, NY – Discipline has always been the backbone of the Buffalo Bills, and head coach Sean McDermott reinforced that message with a decisive move. Rookie defensive end Landon Jackson has been suspended for the preseason finale after failing to attend the team’s final meeting with the head coach.

For McDermott, the decision was about more than just one player—it was about setting the tone. Every rookie fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster is reminded that preparation and accountability come before performance.

McDermott delivered his stance without hesitation:

“If you can’t show up for your team in the meeting room, I don’t care what you do on the field. Discipline comes first, or you don’t play for the Buffalo Bills.”
