NFL training camps are underway ahead of the 2026 season, and Jeremy Fowler, Dan Graziano and Ben Solak are on the road for their respective annual camp tours. They have collectively stopped at camps for a dozen different teams so far: the Bears, Buccaneers, Chargers, Chiefs, Colts, Commanders, Dolphins, Jaguars, Falcons, Packers, Rams and Vikings. And they're not done, either, with roughly another 12 teams still on deck over the next week or so.
At each stop, Jeremy, Dan and Ben have talked to players, coaches, execs and scouts to get the latest buzz. We compiled everything they saw and heard, including some nuggets that might be important for fantasy football managers.
How is Kyler Murray looking in Kevin O'Connell's offense? Is Aaron Donald any closer to making a decision about whether to un-retire? What's the latest on Patrick Mahomes' injury recovery? And how are the Packers planning to survive without Micah Parsons early in the season? Here's what we learned for each team.

Graziano's notes from Los Angeles Chargers camp

Best thing I saw/heard: Mike McDaniel had options. After losing his job as head coach of the Dolphins in January, McDaniel was contacted by several teams looking for new offensive coordinators. He ended up with the Chargers in large part because of the enticing prospect of working with quarterback Justin Herbert.
"It's exceeded my expectations for sure," McDaniel said after Monday morning's practice. "He came in very motivated and he's been very focused the whole time, willing to try new things, which speaks to who he is as a seven-going-on-17-year vet."
