NFL teams are conducting joint training camp practices to prepare for the upcoming season. In Philadelphia and New England, the Eagles and Patriots held two days of joint sessions, which included a reunion for wide receiver A. J. Brown. In Minnesota, the Vikings and Ravens held their first of two scheduled joint practice sessions at the TCO Performance Center. While defensive units from both teams showed strength during 11-on-11 drills—with the Vikings' Dallas Turner performing well—the offensive performances were mixed. Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray completed just over 50% of his passes and struggled with intermediate accuracy, though he did connect with Justin Jefferson for a touchdown. Backup quarterback J. J. McCarthy also recorded a deep touchdown pass to Myles Price during second-team drills. Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell confirmed that Murray has been named the starting quarterback, with McCarthy serving as the backup. Defensively, the Vikings utilized aggressive blitzing led by coordinator Brian Flores to pressure the Ravens. On offense, rookie running back Demond Claiborne demonstrated impressive speed but encountered ball security issues. Both teams are utilizing these high-intensity sessions to prepare for playoff contention following underperforming 2025 seasons. In Jacksonville, the Jaguars and Panthers held joint sessions at the Miller Electric Center characterized by ‘high physical intensity,’ leading to multiple player skirmishes and altercations during live scrimmages. ~~The~~ Jaguars ~~saw standout performances from running back Bhayshul Tuten and several rookie pass-catchers, while the defense established a physical tone.

In a recent session between the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins, a significant brawl broke out. Jameis Winston reportedly threw a punch at a Dolphins player before becoming involved in a skirmish.
