Overview

• The NFL has announced mid-July reporting dates for rookies and veterans across all 32 teams, with practices officially kicking off between July 15 and July 26.
• Several clubs unveiled open-to-public practice sessions, highlighted by the Bears’ 11 fan practices and the Giants’ free, ticketed sessions running from July 23 to August 13.
• Several joint sessions will test players against outside competition, including the Bears’ camps with the Dolphins and Bills the first week of August, plus the Giants’ practice with the Jets on Aug. 13.
• Following a busy offseason featuring trades, free-agent deals and draft picks, the Steelers (who signed Aaron Rodgers) and Patriots (with a strong rookie class) are among clubs finalizing rosters during camp.
• Preseason games begin in early August, giving each team three tune-up matchups before the league’s Aug. 26 deadline to trim rosters to 53 players.
