2026 NFL preseason training camps

The league‑wide preseason kickoff continued through early August 2026. The Los Angeles Chargers expanded their two‑day “Back Together Weekend” on Aug. 1‑2 at the 14‑acre Bolt complex, allowing up to 2,000 fans per practice after pre‑registration. The event featured open drills, youth flag‑football clinics, live entertainment and creator activations, while head coach Sean Harbaugh expressed confidence that the squad is “more than capable.”

The Los Angeles Rams, after completing non‑padded drills, reported growing momentum toward a possible comeback by three‑time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald. Coach Sean McVay noted that “if there’s an arrow, it’s pointing up,” and highlighted the recent trade for Myles Garrett as part of a bolstered defensive line. Decisions on Donald’s return will be revisited once the team returns to its Woodland Hills facility after Aug. 6.

Earlier, the Washington Commanders had begun Day 2 of camp under Dan Quinn, focusing on red‑zone work and a kicker competition, while the Rams moved toward padded practice and evaluated new offensive pieces. Collectively, these activities blend fan engagement with on‑field assessments as teams fine‑tune rosters ahead of the preseason.
