It is only one day but already the Giants’ offensive line is filled with questions. Right tackle Evan Neal (ankle) started training camp on the physically unable to perform list, a lingering concern after surgery late last year. So the Giants slid offseason acquisition Jermaine Eluemunor to right tackle for the start of camp, only to see him leave the first practice of the summer with an injury. Eluemunor was signed to be a starter, whether it be at left guard or right tackle.
By the end of the first practice, the Giants had a starting offensive line of (left to right): LT Andrew Thomas, LG Aaron Stinnie, C John Michael Schmitz Jr., RG Jon Runyan, RT Joshua Ezeudu. Perhaps the only positive was the Giants said that Neal was “not far” from returning. — Jordan Raanan

Saquon Barkley’s first training camp with the Eagles got off to a rousing start. Some of the loudest cheers of the day were reserved for the veteran running back, who left New York for Philadelphia after signing a three-year, $37.75 million in free agency.
“I definitely heard it. There is a little excitement with me being here,” he said. “Since coming to Philly, it’s been nothing but love and a lot of support from everyone within the building, the fans.”
Barkley was a central part of Philadelphia’s offense Wednesday, getting plenty of looks both in the running and receiving game. His combination of speed and power could be felt as he rumbled down the sideline following a swing pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts. — Tim McManus

Rookie defensive tackle Johnny Newton was activated off the non-football injury list after he passed his physical Tuesday night. That was faster than even the Commanders expected after he was placed on the list last week with a foot injury when the rookies reported. “I thought it would be later,” coach Dan Quinn said. Newton did work during individual drills — he received a lot of attention from teammates and coaches after each rep, providing tips or pointers — but afterward spent time with trainers on a side field. They want him to work his way back into football shape before putting him into other drills. Newton, a second-round pick, is expected to be a key backup behind Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne. “We’ve got some [time] to make sure he doesn’t miss one step of his development,” Quinn said of Newton. — John Keim

Chicago’s defense came away with a successful goal line stand during the two-minute drill after the offense got down to the 6-yard line in the final period. On three straight plays, the defense showed its edge in a “gut check” moment, according to D-coordinator Eric Washington. Rookie defensive end Austin Booker recorded a pressure as Caleb Williams threw a pass to running back Khalil Herbert on second-and-goal that fell incomplete. Back-to-back pass breakups from cornerback Tyrique Stevenson and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds followed on tosses to Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet, respectively. Wide receiver DJ Moore was not on the field for the two-minute drill, while Keenan Allen was given a vet day on Tuesday. But after another solid showing from Williams and the offense four practices in, the Bears’ defense came through in an important moment that showcased its collective conditioning level at the end of practice. — Courtney Cronin

Although it’s the first day of training camp, there’s one goal in mind in Detroit: Super Bowl. Lions players and coaches are confident entering this season after falling one game shy of that mark in the NFC title game last season, and they’re making their intentions clear within the organization although the franchise is one of four active franchises without a Super Bowl appearance.
Amon-Ra St. Brown says the team’s goal is not just playoffs or the No. 1 seed. “We all want to win the Super Bowl, we know we can win the Super Bowl,” he said on Wednesday. “We have the team; we have the coaches. We have everything we need in this building to win a Super Bowl and that’s our goal. That’s our focus and everything we do from here on out moving forward is to get that Super Bowl.” — Eric Woodyard

No one would’ve blamed cornerback Eric Stokes if after Wednesday’s practice he had the video of his two interceptions playing on a loop on his iPad. After everything Stokes has been through in the last two years – missing 22 of a possible 34 games due to myriad injuries – he could use the positive reinforcement.
But the former first-round pick said he wanted to watch two other plays: a pass interference on a deep ball and a mistake in coverage on a third-down.
“That’s going to be one of my main focuses coming into the next practice,” Stokes said.
The Packers have given Stokes every chance to get his starting job back at the cornerback spot opposite Jaire Alexander. So far, he’s worked ahead of Carrington Valentine, who played extensively in Stokes’ spot last year as a rookie.
“Man, it’s good to see, especially where he came from with his injuries and all that,” defensive tackle Kenny Clark said of Stokes return to form. “And he got a pick today — two picks. It’s good to see him getting back to himself.” — Rob Demovsky

Safety Lewis Cine arrived at his third Vikings training camp with his eyes wide open. Cine, the Vikings’ first-round pick (No. 32 overall) in 2022, finished last season buried on the depth chart and understands that his roster spot is in jeopardy.
“This [camp] is huge for me on a personal note,” Cine said Wednesday as the Vikings took the field for the first time this summer. “I think I’ve really got to show out and really ball out and prove why I should be here and why I deserve to be playing in the NFL.”
Cine suffered a traumatic compound fracture of his left leg in just his third NFL game and missed the remainder of his rookie season. Once he was cleared to practice in the spring of 2023, he struggled to adapt to new defensive coordinator Brian Flores’ scheme. He spent the season as a part-time special teams player and was inactive for 10 games. In two seasons, he has played only 10 defensive snaps.
The Vikings have brought back all of the safeties that played ahead of him last season, and while his base salary of $1.7 million is fully guaranteed, he knows that alone won’t ensure a roster spot.
“Just because you got drafted in the first round, that doesn’t mean you’re just handed anything,” he said. “You’ve got to understand that these are jobs. It’s unfortunate that I broke my leg [in 2022], but that’s long behind me.
“I’ve got the opportunity to learn the defense and not be rushed where something bad could happen. Now I have to use this opportunity to show that I haven’t lost a step. I’m still the same Lew that you drafted.” — Kevin Seifert

Safety Jessie Bates III was one of two Falcons players to speak with the media Wednesday morning on a quiet arrival day in Flowery Branch, Georgia. Bates said he has been reading more than ever, specifically about leadership and personal development. Not only is he one of the best safeties in the NFL, but Bates will be depended upon as a leader this season of Atlanta’s defense and beyond. His favorite book so far? “The Twin Thieves: How Great Leaders Build Great Teams,” which was recommended by assistant head coach Jerry Gray. “I need to make sure I’m a great leader,” Bates said. Bates also got one-on-one time watching film with new quarterback Kirk Cousins during OTAs, the first time he said he has ever sat with a quarterback in that context. Practice for the Falcons begins Thursday. — Marc Raimondi

Midway through the first practice of camp quarterback Bryce Young dropped back on a play-action pass, avoided a rusher and connected with wide receiver Diontae Johnson running an out pattern. The footwork, timing and quick release new coach Dave Canales emphasized during offseason workouts were there for Young. It was a good early sign that the top pick of the 2023 draft in this new offense could bounce back from a disastrous rookie season. If he does, Johnson will be a big part of it because of his ability to get separation, something Carolina receivers struggled to do a year ago. Canales noted later that Young and Johnson talk a lot even when they aren’t taking snaps. “Just learning the mover,” he said. “Diontae’s a special mover.” Cornerback Jaycee Horn agreed, saying Johnson is a tough cover period. — David Newton

Free agent addition Chase Young is expected to participate “in some form” of practice on Wednesday, according to coach Dennis Allen. Young has been limited to working with athletic trainers during practice while rehabbing from an offseason neck procedure.
Wide receiver Chris Olave also is expected to practice in some form after being placed on the non-football injury list last week. Allen said that Olave’s issue was minor. “Yeah, he’ll be out here. I think we’ll probably limit him a little bit to start,” Allen said.
With Alvin Kamara expected to participate, the only players not anticipated to practice are Tanoh Kpassagnon (Achilles), Nephi Sewell (ACL) and Juwan Johnson (foot). — Katherine Terrell

The Bills held the team’s first training camp practice on Wednesday and all 91 players were on the field and participating. A variety of players dealt with injuries during the team’s offseason program and missed time, so for the Bills to start things off in camp with a healthy roster is a step in a positive direction. That included linebacker Matt Milano, who participated in team drills for the first time since his season-ending right leg injury last year. However, he will be among a group that will be managed, in terms of participation, throughout camp. “[Milano] attacked everything with his rehab,” general manager Brandon Beane said. “…This was probably as good as we could have hoped that he would be starting camp. And we got to manage, and we got to be smart.”
Wide receiver Chase Claypool did come down from trying to catch a pass in the end zone limping with an injury to his right foot area, but after practice, he was moving around and catching passes without the limp. — Alaina Getzenberg

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters quarterback Tua Tagovailoa would not participate in 11-on-11 drills during today’s practice, amidst ongoing negotiations on his contract extension. Technically, the quarterback did participate, taking two snaps and handing the ball to a running back both times. His teammates say that despite being on the sideline during team drills, Tagovailoa was vocal and active as a leader, and engaged in the day’s practice. Until an agreement is reached on an extension, Tagovailoa’s practice workload is expected to remain limited. — Marcel Louis-Jacques

There was one play that produced an audible roar from the crowd on the first day of Patriots training camp: a Drake Maye 45-yard bomb down the right sideline that WR Jalen Reagor reached out to snare with one hand.
“It gives us excitement,” RB Rhamondre Stevenson said, noting that Reagor had another big catch in the practice as he looks to distinguish himself in a crowded WR room. “Perfect throw.”
Maye then capped off his first NFL training camp practice by signing autographs, fittingly picking a fan with a University of North Carolina jersey as his first. — Mike Reiss

Aaron Rodgers 2.0 began Tuesday with Jets veterans reporting to training camp. This time, the team believes it is better equipped to handle the expectations and hype that come with having a future Hall of Fame quarterback.
“I think starting last year, we had the deal with ‘Hard Knocks,’ the Hall of Fame game, the extra 10 days in camp, all the expectations of Aaron’s first year here,” tight end Tyler Conklin said. “As a team, it’s not our first rodeo, handling all those different things — the expectations, the media, the games. We’re just excited to be where our feet are.”
The Jets learned some hard lessons last year after losing Rodgers to a season-ending Achilles tendon injury on the fourth snap of the season. This is an older, more mature team than the 2023 edition. It got its first dose of adversity Tuesday, when pass rusher Haason Reddick became a training camp holdout. The Jets, of all teams, should be accustomed to distractions. — Rich Cimini

With reigning NFL Most Valuable Player Lamar Jackson missing his third straight day of camp with an illness, backup quarterback Josh Johnson continued to fill in with the first team and faced constant pressure from outside linebacker Odafe Oweh. After Oweh crashed the edge on a play, coach John Harbaugh had a chat with the former first-round draft pick.
“I had to pull the reins in a little bit,” Harbaugh said of Oweh. “He understands we got to stay away from the quarterback as much as possible. You don’t want to have any car crashes out there. [But] he’s bringing it. He’s pretty much been in the backfield every play.”
So, when can the Ravens expect Jackson to return to camp?
“I’m sure he is closer to getting out there than he was,” Harbaugh said. “It’s just a matter of when the doctor’s going to clear him.” — Jamison Hensley

Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, pass rusher Josh Hines-Allen and cornerback Tyson Campbell all have new contracts. With that comes added pressure to perform at a high level and make the Jaguars a consistent AFC title contender.
Rightfully so, Lawrence said.
“The expectations are high and they should be around here and especially when [owner Shad Khan] is putting his money, his time, all these things behind it and backing it and really putting a lot into it,” Lawrence said after a light practice on the first day of camp. “He has high expectations for us. We have high expectations for ourselves and we expect to win and [the] time’s now. We’ve been lingering around a little bit [the] last couple of years, but this is our opportunity. We need to take advantage of it.”
The Jaguars made a late-season surge to win the AFC South in 2022 but missed the playoffs in 2023, and now they find themselves in the shadow of the Houston Texans, who won the division and are considered to be the team to beat again in 2024.
“It’s always fun being on this side of it, where you want to prove everybody wrong, and you have a lot of people doubting you and maybe there’s not as many expectations from the outside,” Lawrence said. “It doesn’t really matter the end of the day. You’ve still got to go perform. What goes on in this building and what we do out here getting ready for the season, and really the attitude or mindset that we have moving forward, that’s really what matters.
“But I will say it is fun kind of being the overlooked team and you do kind of enjoy that and you want to prove people wrong.” — Michael Di Rocco

Titans coach Brian Callahan said yesterday that rookie T’Vondre Sweat is “ready to roll” for training camp. Sweat proved Callahan right as he was a full participant in the first on-field workouts of training camp after missing all of OTAs/minicamp. Sweat worked his way through individual period with the defensive linemen and was part of a rotation with fellow former Longhorn Keondre Coburn. The opportunity to work alongside Jeffery Simmons is something Sweat relishes, but he knows it will be an adjustment. “The biggest difference is like when you go from high school and to college is the speed of the game,” Sweat said. “I’ll just come out here every day and compete.” Sweat was also the recipient of trash talk from veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins before plays during the team’s period of practice. — Turron Davenport

The team’s quarterback competition will camouflage much of anything else going on with the depth chart decisions, but after the first practice of training camp Wednesday, Broncos coach Sean Payton was quick to praise running back Javonte Williams’ weight loss as well as the return to the field for tight end Greg Dulcich.
“I thought Javonte looked real sharp,” Payton said. “… And it was good to see Dulcich back out there and him moving around.”
Payton had big plans for Dulcich last season, but the tight end played 32 snaps all season because of hamstring injuries. Wednesday was the first time Dulcich had practiced with the team since he left during the Week 6 loss to the Chiefs. He did not participate in OTAs or minicamp. — Jeff Legwold

The Chiefs may be looking for one of their younger receivers to claim a roster spot after Justin Watson left practice early with a foot injury. The candidate early in training camp is Nikko Remigio, who had a busy practice session after Watson’s departure. He caught several passes, including one on an intermediate route from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Remigio joined the Chiefs last year as an undrafted rookie but didn’t play during the season. He will need to excel on special teams, and the Chiefs are looking at him as a potential kickoff returner. Offensive coordinator Matt Nagy said Remigio would need to continue to make plays once the Chiefs put on pads for practice for the first time at training camp later in the week. “He’s going to get opportunities,” Nagy said. “What’s he going to do with it?” Watson left practice in a motorized cart after catching a pass. He was second among Chiefs wide receivers last season in catches (27) and yards (460). — Adam Teicher

While Antonio Pierce said Tuesday there is no leader yet in the quarterback battle between second-year returner Aidan O’Connell and veteran Gardner Minshew, the Raiders coach acknowledged he is in no real hurry to anoint a starter, either.
“When it’s right, when it’s obvious,” Pierce said when asked what his optimal timeline would be to name QB1 as the team arrived for training camp in Costa Mesa, California. “Like, OK, [when] it’s a no-brainer. No need to rush it. But when it’s clear, when it’s evident, then you need to make that decision.”
As such, the Raiders, who will not hold joint practices with another team, might need to utilize preseason games against the Vikings, Cowboys and 49ers to figure out who emerges as the starter. O’Connell went 5-5 last season but 3-1 down the stretch with eight TD passes and no interceptions. The lone loss? Against Minshew and the Colts on New Year’s Eve. — Paul Gutierrez
