One of the best and most comprehensive features we do every year is our Preseason Updates Landing Page.. Every week this month, our Bob Henry, Jason Wood, Clayton Gray, and their team of Footballguys Staffers cover every player that matters from every NFL team. It's 32-plus pages of some of the most comprehensive coverage you'll find. It's probably worth the Footballguys Premium Subscription by itself.

While I encourage you to read every word on every team every week, I also understand that "Life Happens." One of the more valuable services Footballguys can offer is saving you time.

For this article, I had the idea of taking the full August Updates and asking our team writers to distill it down into 80 proof shots of the Need-to-Know material. Some teams will have more news than others because that's how it works in real life. Much of it will be from the August Updates, some of it will be my takes, but all of it will hopefully be useful to you. And make sure to jump on our Premium Subscription to continue seeing this type of stuff all year long. And if this feature is helpful to you, shoot me an email at bryant@footballguys.com and let me know.

Plus a new addition for this year. For each team, I've included a link to our Depth Charts and also to the Full Camp Report. If you like these bullets and want more detail, check out the Full Camp Report for each team.

Let's get to it.

Arizona Cardinals | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• WR Greg Dortch continues to impress and make plays as he seeks to earn a meaningful role in the offense.
• RB Trey Benson is getting acclimated to the offense and is narrowing the competition for the RB2 role.
• TE Tip Reiman continues to get work with the first-team offense and is getting acclimated to the passing offense.
• DL Darius Robinson did not play in the preseason game, which indicates he will have an important role for the defense.
• OLB Xavier Thomas continues to make plays in the games and is looking to help boost the pass rush need.

Atlanta Falcons | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Kirk Cousins is leading a wide-open passing attack, and the offense has been described as "night and day" different from 2023.
• RB Tyler Allgeier is having a great training camp and is a regular part of the starting offense.
• WR Drake London has elevated his game as the go-to piece of the passing attack.
• Cousins, London, WR Darnell Mooney, and TE Kyle Pitts are holding extra passing sessions after practice.

Baltimore Ravens | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Lamar Jackson has looked smooth and is taking even more ownership of the offense in his second season under OC Todd Monken.
• RB Derrick Henry has been a great culture fit with the Ravens and is poised to handle a massive workload.
• WR Zay Flowers ended training camp on a high note with a highlight-filled practice full of explosive plays.
• TE Isaiah Likely is one of Baltimore's best offensive players and is forcing his way onto the field despite the presence of Mark Andrews at the top of the depth chart. 

Buffalo Bills | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• The Bills decided to protect QB Josh Allen and kept him out of Saturday night's preseason win over the Steelers. 
• James Cook remains the featured RB, but rookie Ray Davis looked great against Pittsburgh and should spell him at times. 
• The top 4 receivers are set, but depth behind them is lacking after Chase Claypool was released and Marquez Valdes-Scantling suffered a neck injury.
• DE Greg Rousseau posted 2.5 sacks on just 7 pass rush snaps against the Steelers and could be headed for a huge year.
• All-Pro LB Matt Milano suffered a torn biceps in practice this week and will be out indefinitely.

Carolina Panthers | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Bryce Young is expanding his passing tree, incorporating more deep balls than we've seen at camp.
• RB Chuba Hubbard avoided a knee injury and will lead this backfield when the season starts.
• It is increasingly clear that WR Diontae Johnson will lead this team in targets, and it might not be close.
• The starting tight ends are still working back from injury and rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders is not ready to start, meaning this group doesn't seem relevant for fantasy purposes.
• The Panther defense was last in the league for takeaways last season so improving that has been a focus of camp.

Chicago Bears | Depth Chart | Footballguys Full Camp Report

• QB Caleb Williams had his best week of practice, and his work ethic has been contagious.
• Rookie WR Rome Odunze has had a tremendous start to camp and will be heavily involved in the offensive game plan.
• Velus Jones Jr. is moving from wide receiver to running back but will still be involved on special teams.
• Despite the young offense getting most of the attention, this team's strength is still very clearly on the defensive side of the ball.
