Broncos
Broncos linebacker Red Murdock, this year’s Mr. Irrelevant from the 2026 NFL Draft, is entering his rookie season with a humble demeanor, preferring a low profile. He aims to prove himself daily during training camp, seeking to improve regardless of outcomes. Meanwhile, Broncos OL Nick Gargiulo is expected to remain on the PUP list, and HC Sean Payton has no concerns about LB Jonathon Cooper’s situation.
Chargers
For the Chargers, training camp will spotlight players like WR Derius Davis, who needs to establish himself as a difference maker, and LB Daiyan Henley, who is looking to secure his future. WR Quentin Johnston must demonstrate he can consistently perform, while OLB Tuli Tuipulotu’s contract situation adds uncertainty. Meanwhile, second-round G Jake Slaughter is expected to compete for the left guard position.
Chiefs
Chiefs first-round CB Mansoor Delane reports improvement from his shoulder injury but is cautious about his aggression in practice. In addition, OC Eric Bieniemy has temporarily left the team due to a family emergency, with pass game coordinator Joe Bleymaier stepping in. HC Andy Reid indicated there is no set return date for Bieniemy.
Raiders
Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza, the second-to-last first-round pick to sign, faces delays related to his signing bonus structure. HC Klint Kubiak confirmed Kirk Cousins as the starting QB, while Mendoza strives to learn the playbook more thoroughly. Kubiak also stated that DE Maxx Crosby and CB Jermod McCoy are ready to practice as training camp begins.
