Camp Signals: Donald’s Return, Mahomes’ Rehab, and the NFL’s Contract Pulse
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer lays out the top NFL training-camp storylines: Aaron Donald’s potential Rams return and how to balance his workload; Patrick Mahomes’ knee rehab and camp readiness with a careful re‑acclimation to pressure and gameplay; looming shifts in the running back and cornerback markets led by Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Devon Witherspoon, and Christian Gonzalez; ongoing quarterback contract chatter (Mayfield and Lamar Jackson) and the evolving 2024 quarterback class, plus the Vikings’ QB competition and Fernando Mendoza’s Raiders development. He also flags the impact of three new head coaches, the Bengals’ championship ambitions, and a crop of quick-hitters on the Seahawks sale, Packers health, Malik Nabers, Herbert, Shedeur Sanders vs. Watson, Cowboys’ left‑tackle battle, a possible Jaguars renaissance, and the Texans’ potential jump.
