NFL, College Teams Start Padded Training Camp Practices

NFL teams, including the New York Giants, Green Bay Packers, and Denver Broncos, have begun full-pad practices at their training camps, focusing on key position battles and monitoring injury developments. The Giants' offensive line showed improvement, with rookie Cam Skattebo taking significant first-team reps, while the defense remained solid despite some offensive mistakes. The Packers welcomed back Elgton Jenkins from injury and saw quarterbacks Malik Willis and Jordan Love lead effective two-minute drills, though new injuries emerged. The Broncos emphasized the running game, with J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey standing out, but suffered a multi-week injury to linebacker Drew Sanders. In college football, the Charlotte 49ers started fall camp under new head coach Tim Albin, facing modest expectations and a quarterback competition. Teams across both leagues are using these early practices to evaluate depth, address injuries, and refine lineups ahead of the season openers.
