You can smell football in the air. Today all 32 NFL training camps are officially in action across the league. There are 26 former Kentucky football players on the initial 90-man rosters. That number will slowly shrink throughout the preseason until 53-man rosters are finalized Tuesday, Aug. 30.

You’ll notice a few veterans are absent from the July rosters. Defensive lineman Corey Peters is no longer with the Arizona Cardinals, but at least one talking head believes he could be a late free agency addition. Recent UK Hall of Fame inductee Danny Trevathan was cut by the Chicago Bears this spring. He started in 62 of the 67 games he appeared in over six seasons, but the 32-year-old linebacker suffered a season-ending injury five games into the 2021 season.

The 26 Wildcats on training camp rosters are spread out over more than half of the NFL’s 32 teams. See who they’ll be playing for and where each training camp is taking place this summer.

Carolina Panthers, Spartanburg SC

Westry seemingly received positive reviews from the Ravens last season. After Baltimore did not tender the restricted free agent, Carolina signed him to a one-year deal.

Dallas Cowboys, Oxnard CA

Despite an alarming off-the-field issue for Joseph, Bossman Fat is back in action wearing a new number for the Cowboys.

Detroit Lions, Allen Park MI

The injury Paschal suffered to his groin in the Governor’s Cup continues to linger. He was able to perform in pre-Draft workouts, but sidelined for OTAs. He begins the season sidelined on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Stenberg is healthy after he tore his left MCL last October. He appeared in every game prior to the injury.

Green Bay Packers, Green Bay WS

L.A. Rams, Irvine CA

Minnesota Vikings, Eagan MN

It’s going to take some time getting used to Big Z in Minnesota purple. After raising hell in Green Bay, he got paid $42 million over three years to sack Aaron Rodgers.

New Orleans Saints, Metairie LA

The rookie suffered a season-ending injury in his first career start. It’s unclear if he will be 100% for the start of training camp, but he was not present on the latest injury report.

New York Giants, East Rutherford NJ

Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa FL

Washington Commanders, Ashburn VA

Six years later and Jon Toth is still grinding on practice squads and in training camps. Respect.

Kansas City Chiefs, Missouri Western State

These two are each playing with a chip on their shoulder after Johnson was traded by Houston this offseason and Kinnard slid to the fifth round. Kinnard showed up to camp rocking red hair and ready to play multiple positions for the Chiefs.

Cincinnati Bengals, Paul Brown Stadium

Jacksonville Jaguars, Jacksonville FL

If things don’t work out well for Fortner, Toth won’t be the only former center to get a modeling career.

Miami Dolphins, Miami Gardens FL

New York Jets, Fordham Park NJ

Pittsburgh Steelers, Saint Vincent College PA

Tennessee Titans, Nashville TN
