2026 NFL Training Camp: Dates, Joint Practices, and Top Storylines for All 32 Teams

For all the excitement of free agency and the NFL Draft and all the tea-leaf reading of OTAs, training camp is when things really get real. There are roster battles, depth chart battles and starting job battles. There will be plenty of roster churn as teams evaluate themselves and outside options. There will be feel-good stories about unlikely players making the roster, and there will be surprising cuts. Tempers will flare, and some joint practices will be far more important than the actual preseason games.

Below is every team's training camp schedule, the joint practice schedule -- joint practices are often the most revealing part of camp -- and finally every team's top training camp storyline as the season nears.

AFC East

Buffalo Bills

Josh Allen to DJ Moore

After career lows in catches and yards, DJ Moore landed in Buffalo, where he is immediately the clear No. 1 wide receiver. He still has his downfield chops, and that is crucial for a Bills offense that leaned heavily into short passing last year. Can Moore be the top guy for Josh Allen in a successful passing offense? How willing is new coach Joe Brady, last year's offensive coordinator, to become more aggressive?

Miami Dolphins

Malik Willis

The Dolphins are an extremely young team in the wake of tearing things down to the studs. But they also took a swing on Malik Willis, who played well as a backup in Green Bay. Miami is not Green Bay, though. Willis has arguably the NFL's worst supporting cast, with pretty much no proven wide receivers and several question marks on the offensive line.

New England Patriots

Drake Maye to A.J. Brown

For all the upgrades New England made, none are as big as A.J. Brown. The star wide receiver should be exactly what Drake Maye needs after his breakout season, a big wide receiver with downfield bona fides and the ability to win on in-breaking routes. If they can establish a good rapport early, both should be in for big seasons. Brown's health is worth watching.

New York Jets

Rookies look to carve out roles

The Jets used their three first-round picks on players who should contribute immediately: EDGE David Bailey , tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr . For a team looking at a bridge year with a roster filled with intriguing youngsters and solid veterans on short-term deals, the youngsters will be the focus as the Jets look to build momentum.

AFC North

Baltimore Ravens

Lamar Jackson's contract situation, fit in new offense

For the first time in nearly two decades, the Ravens have a new coach. Jesse Minter should be an immediate boost for the Ravens' defense, which has had spells of excellent play and spells of very poor play seemingly every year. But Lamar Jackson will have all the eyes on him once again. New offensive coordinator Declan Doyle will place him under center more than he's used to, and there's also the contract extension issue looming in the background.

Cincinnati Bengals

New defense looks to gel

The Bengals made big splashes at defensive line ( Dexter Lawrence ), EDGE ( Boye Mafe , second-round pick Cashius Howell ) and safety ( Bryan Cook ). Last year's first-round pick, EDGE Shemar Stewart , is in the midst of his first full NFL offseason and was always going to be a developmental guy; can he make the jump? The Bengals simply need their defense to be mediocre, not among the NFL's worst.

Cleveland Browns

Shedeur Sanders vs. Deshaun Watson

For a team as early into yet another rebuild as the Browns are, this, on the surface, looks to be a strange quarterback battle. Shedeur Sanders is much younger and, though he struggled massively as a rookie, he had some nice moments and produced some big plays in exceedingly poor circumstances. Deshaun Watson, though, has more experience in systems like new coach Todd Monken's. Either way, viable quarterback play is important for the Browns to at least judge their youngsters at every other offensive position.

Pittsburgh Steelers

New-look offense looks to improve

Aaron Rodgers is back after a middling-at-best season (24th in net yards per attempt, 33rd in air yards per attempt). Was his overreliance on quick, short throws all on him? The Steelers traded for Michael Pittman Jr. and Germie Bernard , which should help unlock DK Metcalf downfield ... if Rodgers is willing to hang in and make some throws. Up front, Troy Fautanu slides from right tackle to left tackle. In the backfield, Rico Dowdle joins Jaylen Warren . Can Mike McCarthy make it all work?

AFC South

Houston Texans

Revamped offensive line, run game

The Texans have a championship-level defense. On offense, C.J. Stroud  has to rebound from a tough 2025. One of the best ways for him to do that is the Texans' investments on the offensive line ( Keylan Rutledge , Braden Smith , Wyatt Teller ) and at running back (traded for David Montgomery ), paying dividends. Houston was 30th in rushing success rate.

Indianapolis Colts

Daniel Jones ' recovery

Coming off a torn Achilles, Daniel Jones has worked his way back to 7-on-7 drills but hasn't taken part in 11-on-11 this offseason. Fear not, Colts fans: There's still a long way to go until the season, and Jones has maintained he is on track for Week 1. When training camp arrives, Jones' readiness from a health and performance standpoint will be key.

Jacksonville Jaguars

Travis Hunter

Hunter played roughly twice as many offensive snaps as he did defensive snaps in a rookie year cut short due to injury. His best game -- eight catches, 101 yards, one touchdown -- was, unfortunately, also his final one of the season. The Jaguars have more depth at wide receiver than they do at cornerback.

Tennessee Titans

Cam Ward's development

Like many of his fellow 2025 rookie quarterbacks who got legit playing time, Cam Ward had some impressive moments but mostly struggled. The Titans made significant upgrades on the offensive side of the ball, led by No. 4 overall pick Carnell Tate . The offensive line remains iffy, though, and Ward's first order of business will be to cut down on negative plays.

AFC West

Denver Broncos

Bo Nix's recovery

Bo Nix required a second surgery on his ankle earlier this year, and while the expectation is he'll be ready for training camp, his recovery is very much worth monitoring. He'll also have a new play caller in Davis Webb , who has those responsibilities for the first time. How Nix manages the injury recovery, the new play caller and  getting on the same page as new wide receiver Jaylen Waddle bears monitoring.

Kansas City Chiefs

Patrick Mahomes ' recovery

The expectation is for Patrick Mahomes to be ready for training camp, but what level of "ready" is he? Will he partake in every part of practice, or every practice period? Will he be on a pitch count? Mahomes isn't the most fleet of foot, but he is a wily, effective scrambler, and his pocket movement is a massive part of his game. This is his first major injury.

Las Vegas Raiders

Fernando Mendoza

With apologies to some very good players the Raiders have -- namely Maxx Crosby , Brock Bowers , Tyler Linderbaum and (potentially) Ashton Jeanty -- Fernando Mendoza is the storyline. How many reps does he get, and how does that number change over the days and weeks of training camp? How does he look? How long can Kirk Cousins hold him off?

Los Angeles Chargers

Welcome to the Mike McDaniel show

The Chargers have new coordinators on both sides of the ball, but the Mike McDaniel addition will be the more drastic change of the two. He's a run-game mastermind who also has excellent offensive creativity overall, and he could help take Justin Herbert , Omarion Hampton and Ladd McConkey to the next level.

NFC East

Dallas Cowboys

How much better is the defense?

The Cowboys used five of their seven picks on defense, headlined by first-round selections Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence . They also traded for Dee Winters and Rashan Gary and added Jalen Thompson  and Cobie Durant. The most important addition might be defensive coordinator Christian Parker. Dallas also has Quinnen Williams for a full season. How quickly does it all come together, and is there enough talent, even with the perceived upgrades?

New York Giants

Jaxson Dart enters Year 2

Jaxson Dart didn't start until Week 4 last year and, like most young players with talent, he produced some fun highs and some not-so-fun lows, the latter of which included several hard hits taken and one concussion sustained. Dart, in a new offense under Matt Nagy, will look to improve his accuracy, be more cognizant of what hits he can and can't take and, ultimately, get the John Harbaugh era going in a positive direction.

Philadelphia Eagles
