NFL Teams Begin 2025 Training Camps Across Multiple Cities

As NFL teams prepare for the 2025 season, training camps are set to begin in July, with mandatory attendance for players and some early reporting dates for teams like the Chargers and Lions. The Cleveland Browns enter camp with cautious optimism, particularly around their running back position where fans are hopeful rookie Quinshon Judkins will surpass 1,000 rushing yards, and rookie Dylan Sampson is favored to win the backup role. However, Browns beat writer Zac Jackson criticized last year's camp for a lack of competitiveness and questioned the team's quarterback decisions following Deshaun Watson's injury and poor performance, pointing to overall team struggles despite previous success. On offense, the Browns hope their wide receiver corps will improve, with veterans Diontae Johnson and DeAndre Carter brought in to provide experience, though their future with the team is uncertain amid strong competition from undrafted rookies. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Steelers are also preparing for their 2025 training camp, focusing on roster evaluations and player readiness, exemplified by their backup center Ryan McCollum returning under a one-year contract. Overall, training camps will be pivotal for teams like the Browns and Steelers to address depth concerns and set the tone for the upcoming NFL season.
