NFL training camp Carolina Panthers roster upgrades coaching changes rookie reporting

Five NFL franchises – the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, New England Patriots, Carolina Panthers and Miami Dolphins – began their training camps, with rookies reporting and preseason schedules set, including the Hall of Fame game in Canton and the early Australia matchup for the Rams and 49ers.

Amid the camp openings, Panthers general manager Dan Morgan is being urged to address lingering roster gaps. Analysts highlighted tight end depth as a concern and suggested free‑agent options such as Bobby Okereke, Bobby Wagner and Matt Milano for linebacking upgrades, while noting the team’s recent signings like Devin Lloyd and the need for additional depth behind Trevin Wallace.

The league also saw a wave of coaching changes, with new head coaches at several teams, including Joe Brady at Buffalo and Mike McCarthy returning to Pittsburgh, underscoring a season of transition across the NFL.
