All the veterans are now expected to report this week, so NFL Training camps are officially in full swing. Let’s take a look at the latest training camp battles and key questions for each team.

Arizona Cardinals: Location: State Farm Stadium, Glendale, Az.  QB Jacoby Brissett just signed a one-year deal after a brief holdout. That should seal the starting job. Now, the bigger question is whether new coach Mike LeFleur can find wide receivers behind Marvin Harrison. First Preseason Game: Aug. 6 vs. Panthers (HOF game). 

Atlanta Falcons: Location: Atlanta Falcons Training Facility, Flowery Branch, Ga. The Falcons are looking for a steady starting quarterback, and Michael Penix Jr. has to step up, or he will be replaced by Tua Tagovailoa, who is making just $1.3 million. First Preseason Game: Aug. 14 vs. Broncos. 

Baltimore Ravens: Location: Under Armour Performance Center, Owings, Mills, Md.  The Ravens will have competition at center to replace Tyler Linderbaum, while the bigger questions will be how new OC Declan Doyle deal with QB Lamar Jackson (they are both 30. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 vs. Eagles.

Buffalo Bills: Location: St. John Fisher University, Rochestery, N.Y.  The Bills have a new head coach in Joe Brady, but it’s the defense that will have a different look as Jim Leonhard bring a 3-4 scheme. The addition of OLB Bradley Chubb should help the Bills improve their pass rush. But is he enough? On offense, there will be competition at left gaurd between Austin Corbett and Alec Anderson. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15. vs Panthers.

Carolina Panthers:  Location: Bank of America Stadium, Charlotte, NC. The running back situation is a concern behind Chuba Hubard, who has veteran AJ Dillong and Jonathon Brooks behind him. The defense gets some huge additions this season including DE Jaelan Phillips and will look to improve a defense that ranked 16th overall. First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 at Raiders.

Chicago Bears: Location: Halas Hall, Lake Forest Ill. The biggest concern is at left tackle where Ozzy Trapilo (knee) might not be available at the beginning of the season. Braxton Jones will have to battle Jedrick Willis Jr. and Theo Benedet to earn the starting job in Week 1. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 vs. Browns.

Cincinnati Bengals: Location: Paycor Stadium, Cincinnati. The biggest concern is always the defense, despite the big additions including DT Dexter Lawrence. They ranked 27th in points allowed per drive last season. That must improve. First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 vs. Lions. 

Cleveland Browns:  Location: CrossCountry Mortgage Campus, Berea, Ohio. Not an easy challenge for new coach Todd Monken. That’s to find the starting quarterback from Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders. Watson has played just 19 games since 2022 due to injuries and a susspension. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 at Bears. 

Dallas Cowboys: Location: Marriot Residence Inn, Oxnard, Calif.  There are potentially seven new starters on defnse as the Cowboys move to a 3-4 scheme. How good can the secondary become with stud rookie S Caleb Downs, S Jalen Thompson and CB Cobie Durant? First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 at Seahawks.

Denver Broncos: Location: Broncos Park, Englewood, Colo. The biggest question is the health of QB Bo Nix (ankle), who should be close to 100% by the start of the season. He’ll have a new receiver in Jaylen Waddle and a new OC in 31-year-old Davis Webb, to replace Joe Lombardi, who was fired two days after the AFC title game loss. First Preseason Game: Aug. 14 at Falcons.

Detroit Lions: Location: Meijer Performance Center, Allen Park, Mich. The defense has the most concerns, as safety Brian Branch is coming off a late-season Achilles tear and he’s not likely to be ready for the season. Kerby Joseph (knee) was limited to six games last season. It will be crucial that they shore up the secondary in camp. First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 at Bengals.

Green Bay Packers: Location: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, Wis. The big concern is at cornerback. They cut Nate Hobbs and used their top draft pick on second-rounder Brandon Cisse, while signing Benjamin St.-Juste. They will likely fight with Carrington Valentine for the second corner spot. First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 at Steelers/

Houston Texans: Location: Houston Methodist Training Center, Houston. All eyes will be on QB C.J. Stroud, who needs to improve his production, while the Texans gave him a second-round pick in WR Jayden Higgins. He’ll get the opportunity to be the No. 2 receiver to complement Pro Bowler Nico Collins.  First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 vs. Chargers.

Indianapolis Colts: Location: Grand Park, Westfield, Ind. Daniel Jones (Achilles) is expected to be full go at some point during training camp, but Achilles’ injuries must be treated with caution. At defensive end, Arden Key is expected to compete with Jaylahn Tuimoloau for the starting spot. First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 at Patriots.

Jacksonville Jaguars: Location: Miller Electric Center, Jacksonville, Fla. So where will second-year CB/WR Travis Hunter play more? Corner or wide receiver? At running back, Chris Rodriguez Jr. comes in as a veteran to compete with speedy Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen Jr. to replace Travis Etienne, who moved on in free agency. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 at Saints. 

Kansas City Chiefs: Location: Missouri Western State University, St. Joseph, Mo. Patrick Mahomes is coming off a serious knee injury, and he’s now in his thirties. He’ll need protection, and the right tackle spot is the key camp battle with Jaylon Moore competing with Kahil Benson, an undrafted player from Indiana, and Esa Pole. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 vs. Rams.

Las Vegas Raiders: Location: Intermountain Health Performance Center, Henderson, Nev. All eyes will be on first overall pick QB Fernando Mendoza and whether he’s ready to take over QB1 with veteran Kirk Cousins signed as insurance in case he’s not. First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 vs. Cardinals. 

LA Chargers: Location: The Bolt, El Segundo, Calif. The offensive line is key for the Chargers, who plan to start Jake Slaughter at left guard after playing center at Florida last season. In the secondary, the Chargers need a deep safety next to Elijah Molden in nickel. Tony Jefferson and RJ Mickens will be in the mix with rookie fourth-rounder Genesis Smith. First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 at Texans. 

LA Rams: Location: Loyola Marymount University, Los Angeles. There are not a lot of questions for this Super Bowl favorite. One is the backup quarterback job with rookie Ty Simpson taking on Stetson Bennett. The other big question is whether Aaron Donald will come out of retirement, though that seems unlikely at this point. First Preseason Game: Aug. 14 at Chiefs.

Miami Dolphins: Location: Baptist Healthy Training Complex, Miami Gardens, Fla. Where do we start? We’ll start at wide receiver with a ton of new players added and rookies competing for the No. 1 spot with Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill gone. It’s not the greatest situation for new QB Malik Willis to come in. First Preseason Game: Aug. 14 at Commanders. 

Minnesota Vikings: Location: TCO Performance Center, Eagan, Minn. Who will start at QB in Week 1? J.J. McCarthy is the longshot here as Kyler Murray has the experience and arm talent to thrive in Kevin O’Connell’s offense. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 at NY Giants.

New England Patriots: Location: Practice fields at Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, Mass. Head coach Mike Vrabel has seemingly been able to get through his off-season distractions and now the focus is on Drake Maye becoming a voracious reader and WR A.J. Brown.  First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 vs. Colts.

New Orleans Saints: Location: Ochsner Sports Performance Center, Metairie, La.  QB Tyler Shough showed potential last season and should have an improved group at receiver. Chris Olave and rookie Jordyn Tyson should be a strong 1-2 duo. But after that, there should be competition for the third spot and depth. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 vs. 49ers.  

NY Giants: Location: Quest Diagnostics Training Center, East Rutherford, NJ; The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, WVa. The Giants need QB Jaxson Dart to stay healthy, but he’s also learning a new offense under a new coaching staff. At wide receiver, Malik Nabers has star potential, but he’s coming off an injury as is RB Cam Skattebo. At corner, they’re looking for a second starter with rookie Colton Hood, Greg Newsome II and Deonte Banks competing. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 vs. Vikings. 

NY Jets: Location: Atlantic Health Jets Training Center, Florham Park, N.J.  The Jets are looking for a future starter at QB and at least a backup to Geno Smith. Rookie Cade Klubnik and Bailey Zappe will battle it out. At corner, Nashon Wright could be pushed by Azareye’h Thomas and rookie D’Angelo Ponds. First Preseason Game: Aug. 14 vs. Buccaneers.

Philadelphia Eagles: Location: Jefferson Health Training Complex, Philadelphia. Sean Mannion takes over as the new offensive coordinator. The key will be getting QB Jalen Hurts back on track and gelling with rookie WR Makai Lemon and newly added Dontayvion Wicks. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 at Ravens.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Location: Saint Vincent College, Latrobe, Pa. Will Howard and Mason Rudolph are expected to duel for the backup QB job, with rookie Drew Allar expected to be the No. 3. The Steelers are pretty solid everywhere else with a lot of veterans, but a new coaching staff led by Mike McCarthy.  First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 vs. Packers.

San Francisco 49ers: Location: SAP Performance Center Facility, Santa Clara, Calif. The 49ers need to stay healthy because they added WRs Mike Evans and Christian Kirk. There is some competition, including left guard, where Robert Jones and Connor Colby could be pushed by rookie Carver Willis. There are also questions at safety where DC Raheem Morris will have veteran Ashyn Davis as a potential candidate.  First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 vs. Titans.

Seattle Seahawks: Location: Virginia Mason Athletic Center, Renton, Wash. The Seahawks lost several key players, including RB Kenneth Walker III and OC Klint Kubiak. New OC Brian Fleury takes over and he’ll have to be patient with RB Zach Charbonnet, coming off a torn ACL in February. George Holani, rookie Jadarian Price and Emmanuel Wilson will compete for time. First Preseason Game: Aug. 15 vs. Cowboys.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Location: AdventHealth Training Center, Tampa, Fla. At corner, the Bucs have Jacob Parris, Benjamin Morrison and Zyon McCollum vying for the starting outside jobs. With Mike Evans gone, there will be some competition with WR Ted Hurst III (6-3) hoping to fill the void. New OC Zac Robinson will have his work cut out for him. First Preseason Game: Aug. 14 at NY Jets.

Tennessee Titans: Location: Vanderbilt Health Football Center, Nashville. New coach Robert Saleh brings in OC Brian Daboll to help QB Cam Ward. They’ll have a competition at center and right guard. Until they fill that, Ward will continue to have his struggles. At Mike linebacker, veteran Cody Barton is back, but Saleh could go with second-round pick Anthony Hill Jr., who has more potential. First Preseason Game: Aug. 13 at 49ers.

Washington Commanders: Location: Commanders Park, Ashburn, Va. Head coach Dan Quinn added a new OC (David Blough) and DC (Daronte Jones). On defense, they’ll use a 3-4 base look. The big question is who will start on the inside, with Frankie Luvu, Leon Chenal and rookie Sonny Styles competing. At running back, Jacory Croskey-Merritt will be pushed by veterans Rachaad White and Jerome Ford for playing time. First Preseason Game: Aug. 14 vs. Dolphins.
