NFL training camp 2025 news, live updates: Titans QB Will Levis to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery
The 2025 NFL season is right around the corner. Teams have officially begun reporting to training camp across the league. Some franchises have their rookies report first, while others just go straight to full squad. Yahoo Sports is on the road this summer hitting camps across the country, and we're rounding up the news, updates, position battles, contract drama and more you need to know. Off we go! Top storylines of NFL training camp NFL training camp tracker NFL training camp schedule/team feeds Monday, July 21 Kansas City Chiefs | Dallas Cowboys Tuesday, July 22 Buffalo Bills | Miami Dolphins | New England Patriots | New York Jets | Baltimore Ravens | Cincinnati Bengals | Cleveland Browns | Houston Texans | Indianapolis Colts | Jacksonville Jaguars | Tennessee Titans | Denver Broncos | Las Vegas Raiders | New York Giants | Philadelphia Eagles | Washington Commanders | Chicago Bears | | Green Bay Packers | Minnesota Vikings | Carolina Panthers | New Orleans Saints | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | Arizona Cardinals | Los Angeles Rams | San Francisco 49ers | Seattle Seahawks Wednesday, July 23 Pittsburgh Steelers | Atlanta Falcons Top NFL training camp storylines How will Browns' quarterback competition end? Joe Flacco appears to be the favorite, Kenny Pickett is a veteran with a shot, Dillon Gabriel was the higher of the two draft picks this past spring, and Shedeur Sanders is, well, Shedeur Sanders. Whoever wins, it'll be buzzy. Aaron Rodgers, Jalen Ramsey join up with Steelers Two of the biggest offseason additions happened in June, and the Steelers are counting on them to help lift the franchise higher than a first-round exit and into genuine Super Bowl contention. Will Terry McLaurin get a new deal? Terry McLaurin had his best season last year and is now entering the final year of his current contract. But there's been little movement on an extension, despite McLaurin sitting out of minicamp in June to send a message. "I've been pretty frustrated, I'm not gonna lie," McLaurin said July 15. The question Washington must answer: How long will he stay that way? What's up with contract extensions for Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson? T.J. Watt got his historic contract extension. Now attention turns toward two other star pass rushers, Micah Parsons and Trey Hendrickson. Which will land first? How will George Pickens fit with Cowboys? Dak Prescott is hyped to throw to newly acquired wide receiver George Pickens, especially with CeeDee Lamb already in the same offense. Will we see early fireworks at camp and in preseason from this connection? How will J.J. McCarthy look as Vikings QB? After missing last year (on-field, at least) due to injury, J.J. McCarthy takes the reins as QB1 in Minnesota. Will the 2024 10th overall pick reward the faith of head coach Kevin O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, who let Sam Darnold walk this offseason? And if he doesn't, could a Kirk Cousins reunion be in line? How will Jaguars use Travis Hunter? The second overall pick of the draft has spent the majority of his time on offense this offseason and has gotten defensive snaps when the daily plan called for it. We'll get more information on how the Jaguars will use him this month. How soon can Jaxson Dart start? Russell Wilson is QB1 with the Giants to start training camp. But first-round pick Jaxson Dart has prototype physical traits and could push to begin his inevitable takeover of the job sooner rather than later. Ben Johnson's first year with Bears, Caleb Williams Chicago wanted an offensive mastermind to pair with its first overall pick from 2024. Ben Johnson is that guy, having helmed the Lions' prolific offense the past few seasons. What will he look like as a head coach with a talent like Williams? Raiders' new-look offense gets installed Geno Smith is the quarterback. Ashton Jeanty is the running back. Brock Bowers is arguably TE1 leaguewide already. Chip Kelly is the new offensive coordinator. The Raiders should be entertaining as hell on offense. We get our first true glimpses very soon. Sam Darnold takes over in Seattle The Seahawks' $100(.5) million QB is the centerpiece of an overhaul that took place this offseason. Klint Kubiak will be calling plays, DK Metcalf is gone, and the offense as a whole will look different. The biggest piece will be Darnold, who can either prove the first 16 games last year were his real self — and not the last two.

Eagles 2025 training camp: one burning question at each position
With the first practice looming, we're looking at one burning question for Philadelphia at each position on both sides of the football. After months of waiting, the Eagles received their Super Bowl rings on Friday, officially concluding the off-season championship celebration and ushering in another opportunity to put the NFL world on notice. With the first practice looming, we're looking at one burning question for Philadelphia at each position on both sides of the football. How will Jalen Hurts mesh with OC Kevin Patullo? Quarterback Jalen Hurts in 2025 will play for his sixth play caller in six seasons. With Kellen Moore in New Orleans, the 2025 season will be his 16th season coaching in the NFL, all on the offensive side of the ball, primarily working with wide receivers and quarterbacks. Patullo understands the Eagles' offensive process and identity after working alongside and watching Shane Steichen (offensive coordinator in 2021 and 2022, who is now the head coach in Indianapolis), Brian Johnson (now the assistant head coach with the Washington Commanders), and Moore (who helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX). Can AJ Dillon lessen the load for Saquon Barkley? Dillon, a 27-year-old running back, is returning to the field after missing the 2024 season due to a neck injury. The hope is that Dillon is expected to share the running back load with Saquon Barkley, who led the league in rushing yards in 2024. The Eagles are hoping Dillon can replicate the success he had in Green Bay, where he amassed significant scrimmage yards between 2021 and 2023. What does Philadelphia have at WR Behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith? Dotson was acquired just before the start of the 2024 season, so this marks the first Training Camp in Philadelphia for the former first-round pick out of Penn State. Elijah Cooks offers size at 6-4, 215 pounds. He was a rookie free agent signing of the Jaguars in 2023 out of San Jose State. Danny Gray made the most significant jump this offseason. The 6-0, 200-pound Gray joined the Eagles' practice squad shortly after being waived by the 49ers at the end of the 2024 preseason and was part of the run to Super Bowl LIX. Ainias Smith and Johnny Wilson were both draft picks who contributed on offense as rookies in 2024, but need strong training camps in 2025. Smith (5-9, 176 pounds) will look to add explosive plays to the roster after spending his rookie year injured. Wilson (6-6, 228 pounds) became the tallest receiver drafted in the last decade when the Eagles made him a sixth-round pick out of Florida State. He played 32 percent of the offensive snaps as a rookie, hauling in one touchdown. Will Philadelphia carry more than one tight end on the roster? Dallas Goedert is a star, and Grant Calcaterra has improved each season since joining the Eagles roster. Philadelphia added Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant to the roster during the off-season when Goedert's status was uncertain. Granson, a former fourth-round draft pick of the Indianapolis Colts, has compiled 86 receptions for 958 yards and a touchdown in 62 regular-season games (17 starts) in his four NFL seasons. Who makes the cut in a loaded and deep offensive line group? The Eagles currently have over 15 offensive linemen on the roster, and will likely trim that number down to nine or ten. Each member of the Eagles' starting offensive line from the Super Bowl LIX team earned All-Pro votes in 2024, including first-time All-Pro selection Jordan Mailata. Tyler Steen is expected to replace Mekhi Becton, leaving four or five spots. Second-year guard Trevor Keegan (6-5, 306 pounds) will look to take the next step and push for more playing time after spending all of his rookie season on the active roster. Darian Kinnard (6-5, 322 pounds) can play multiple spots. The Eagles acquired former first-round pick Kenyon Green in a trade with the Houston Texans this offseason. The 15th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M, Green (6-4, 325) has 23 starts at left guard under his belt. The Eagles selected center/guard Drew Kendall and tackles Myles Hinton and Cameron Williams in the 2025 NFL draft. The Eagles also signed tackle Hollin Pierce (6-8, 341 pounds) and offensive lineman Marcus Tate (6-5, 321 pounds) following the NFL Draft. Who gets left out of the edge rusher rotation? Jalyx Hunt, Nolan Smith, and Azeez Ojulari look like the expected core trio of pass rushers, with Antwaun Powell-Ryland Jr., Josh Uche, Patrick Johnson, and Ochaun Mathis looking for a role. What's the first-year trajectory for Jihaad Campbell? Thanks to a shoulder injury, the former Alabama star will be behind schedule months after missing most of the on-field offseason work due to a Labrum injury. Campbell was named to a list of players who could make an immediate impact for Philadelphia at linebacker. The 6'3", 235-pounder has sideline-to-sideline speed and impressive coverage skills. He also flourished as a quality pass rusher, registering five sacks in 2024. Who replaces Darius Slay at the outside cornerback spot? Philadelphia lost Darius Slay (Steelers), James Bradberry (free agent), Avonte Maddox (Lions), and Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings) in free agency and signed Adoree' Jackson. Even with those moves, Philadelphia didn't draft a cornerback until the fifth round when they selected Mac McWilliams out of UCF. Williams (5-10, 191) will add some depth on the outside and in the slot, but he was a fifth-round pick for a reason. It was assumed that Kelee Ringo was the biggest winner, and the expected starter at the cornerback spot opposite Quinyon Mitchell, but on Day 2 of OTAs, it was Adoree Jackson getting the bulk of the first-team snaps. Ringo switched jersey numbers this spring and enters a pivotal year in his career, but he has all the assets you'd want in an elite cornerback. He is 6-foot-2 and 207 pounds, possessing length, physicality, and speed. Ringo has allowed just a 46.3 passer rating as the primary defender in coverage over the last two seasons (170 snaps). Can Drew Mukuba replicate C.J. Gardner-Johnson's aura as a rookie? Mukuba, a rookie Swiss army knife at the safety position, could make fans forget about C.J. Gardner-Johnson in the Eagles' secondary. Over his final 26 games in college, Mukuba recorded 18 pass breakups and committed zero penalties. That's impressive for a player who's aggressive at the catch point. Mukuba allowed just 74 yards and a 12.1 passer rating on 401 coverage snaps last season, per PFF. At 6-0, 186 pounds, Mukuba is undersized but makes up for it with excellent ball skills and instincts. He possesses good length and exhibits ball-hawking tendencies, tying the SEC lead with five interceptions in 2024. If he were a few inches taller and 15 pounds heavier, Mukuba would've been a first-round pick. The Eagles selected Mukuba in the second round because of his position versatility and big-play ability, which is paramount in the Eagles' defense on the back end -- especially after trading away C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Mukuba, Sydney Brown, and Tristin McCollum are the lead contenders to fill the void at the other safety spot opposite Reed Blankenship.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid comments on the training camp competition for starting left tackle
Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid officially kicked off training camp on Sunday in front of reporters at the Missouri Western State University dormitory in St. Joseph. He addressed several topics, including the likelihood of Josh Simmons earning the starting left tackle spot. 'You're going to look for the best guy, to start with, that can fill that spot, and that we can have a little consistency there. We didn't have that last year,' said Reid, 'So let's work at it and see what we come up with. We've got some good candidates for it, and we'll just see where it goes.' The Chiefs are ideally holding a competition at left tackle between Simmons, Jaylon Moore, and potentially Wanya Morris. Reid generously praised the first-round pick out of Ohio State for his work ethic during rehab. 'He stayed up here this whole break, he's been here, working his tail off,' said Reid, 'But it looks like he's ready to go, and we'll keep an eye on him and see where he's at. But his condition was good when he was out there, and he seems to be a worker, so we'll just have to see. He's never been through one of these, so we gotta see how it goes.' Simmons earned Third-Team All-Big Ten honors for the 2024 National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes.
