NFL training camps are well under way for every franchise across the league.
Here are the answers to some key questions, and the latest updates from around summer practices.
How does your team stack up entering NFL training camp?
Find out with Frank Schwab’s season preview power rankings countdown right here.
Right here:
When does the NFL preseason kick off?
The Chicago Bears and Houston Texans will meet in the 2024 Hall of Fame Game on Thursday, Aug. 1 at 8 p.m. ET in Canton, Ohio. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and ABC.
The preseason ends on Sunday, Aug. 25, and NFL roster cutdown day is Tuesday, Aug. 27.
What are each team’s preseason and regular-season schedules?
The entire preseason and regular season schedule can be found right here on Yahoo Sports.
What are the top storylines of 2024 NFL training camps?
The performances of the first-round rookie quarterbacks, including Chicago’s Caleb Williams, Washington’s Jayden Daniels, New England‘s Drake Maye, Minnesota‘s J.J. McCarthy, Atlanta‘s Michael Penix Jr., and Denver‘s Bo Nix will be watched closely.
In terms of contract situations to monitor, Packers QB Jordan Love struck a record deal with the Packers and Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa got a hefty new contract a few days into camp, but Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk could be in line for new deals these next few weeks — or lingering drama if they don’t get them.
As always, there are buzzy QB competitions in store as well, highlighted by Russell Wilson vs. Justin Fields in Pittsburgh. Another to keep an eye on is Gardner Minshew vs. Aidan O’Connell in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Maye, Nix, McCarthy and Penix will all try to push presumed starters as much as possible in their camps, and here’s a wild card: Daniel Jones vs. Drew Lock with the Giants.

Preseason will test new technology for measuring first downs
The NFL’s movement toward measuring first downs with technology instead of the traditional chain gang doesn’t fix everything, but it’s a step.
We’ll see some of the new technology in select preseason games. The Associated Press reported the NFL will use Sony’s Hawk-Eye technology in some preseason games this year. Once the ball is spotted, Hawk-Eye tells officials if it’s a first down. That will speed up the game and eliminate the few errors with the chain gang measuring.

He actually sent us something late (Sunday). We continue to grind away on it. I would characterize both negotiations as very cordial and upbeat. We’re optimistic we’ll continue to work toward getting something done.”

This has been NFL’s summer of paying big money for QBs with incomplete grades
Quarterback contracts are going to be discussed every year as players sign new deals and resolve contract disputes with their teams. This summer saw a slew of quarterbacks sign market-rate extensions, but where this year differed from previous years, to a degree, is that a few of these quarterbacks that signed deals largely have incomplete résumés.
Still, the contracts of Jordan Love, Tua Tagovailoa and Trevor Lawrence have some people scratching their heads.

The 49ers will look similar in 2024. That’s good news for their Super Bowl chances.
“The fact that the 49ers could practically run it back with the same roster after a Super Bowl appearance is rare. They were able to do that because Purdy’s contract is still one of Mr. Irrelevant. His cap hit this season is a little more than $1 million. That will change soon, assuming the 49ers extend him. For now, it keeps the 49ers’ window wide open.”
The 49ers have been heartbreakingly close to a Super Bowl over the past 5 seasons without winning it all. They were the first team ever to lead in overtime of a Super Bowl and not win it. The good news is just about the entire roster returns to try again. https://t.co/bVAJmQmDP6

Top takeaways from Chargers camp
1. Hard to believe we’re still nitpicking Justin Herbert’s leadership style. But I think as he grows into a veteran role and learns from Harbaugh, that will end.
2. I knew the #Chargers were high on Ladd McConkey coming out of the draft. Now? 📈📈📈📈📈 pic.twitter.com/nXGkumYbyc
— Charles Robinson (@CharlesRobinson) July 28, 2024
3. Wideout Quentin Johnston seems to be coming out of whatever the 2023 issues were.
4. Fantasy outlook: I buy that the #Chargers are working hard to establish a sustained run balance. I think in the short-term — if they’re successful — it will curb some of Herbert’s numbers. pic.twitter.com/8nh5yTnFt7
— Charles Robinson (@CharlesRobinson) July 28, 2024
5. I can’t get over the (kinda) ghost train that runs by the practice fields constantly. I fully buy that it will eventually fuel some paranoia.
6. #Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter is working to achieve scheme complexity…but also role simplicity. Very tricky work. pic.twitter.com/qXjgkrwuWP
— Charles Robinson (@CharlesRobinson) July 28, 2024
7. Of all the analogies of #Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh, it’s the “gliding to 30,000 feet” that matters most. This franchise can be retooled correctly and sustainably with Harbaugh and GM Joe Hortiz…if everyone has a little patience. Column: https://t.co/tD41MpK4Vm
