NFL teams have begun their journey towards Super Bowl 59 as training camps open up across the league. The Baltimore Ravens were the first team to welcome rookies, with all 32 teams expected to be in camp by July 24. The Kansas City Chiefs, led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, are aiming for a historic three-peat, a feat not achieved since the Green Bay Packers in the 1960s.

This season sees eight teams with new head coaches, including familiar faces like Jim Harbaugh with the Los Angeles Chargers and Dan Quinn with the Washington Commanders. Several star quarterbacks have changed teams, adding to the anticipation of the upcoming season.

Training camp schedules vary, with most veterans reporting next week. The Ravens, Chiefs, Chicago Bears, and Houston Texans will have their full teams in camp this week. The Texans and Bears will kick off the exhibition season in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 1. The regular season will commence with a highly anticipated rematch between the Chiefs and Ravens on Sept. 5.

Several storylines to watch during training camp include potential holdouts for contract negotiations. Players like CeeDee Lamb of the Dallas Cowboys and Brandon Aiyuk of the San Francisco 49ers are seeking new deals. Additionally, the preseason will be the first opportunity to witness the impact of the NFL’s revamped kickoff rules.

Roster cuts loom as teams must trim down from a maximum of 90 players to 53 by Aug. 27. The training camp hot spot this year is in California, hosting six teams, including the Rams, Chargers, and 49ers. Fans and teams alike are gearing up for an exciting NFL season ahead.
