What happened: Adam Fantilli has missed the first four days of training camp, according to Aaron Portzline. No contract agreement appears close, and staff have been sending him daily video of system changes to keep him up to date.

Why it matters: Training camp is where systems and preseason roles are installed, so each missed day trims the runway before exhibition games and opening night. If the absence stretches deeper into camp, the contract standoff becomes a preparation issue as much as a paperwork one.

What to watch: Watch for movement in contract talks as camp shifts toward preseason game prep. The next clear marker is Fantilli's first full practice session.
