What happened: Seattle's rookies reported to training camp on July 17, the first step in the Seahawks' preseason buildup. All 32 NFL teams will have players in camp within 11 days, with the Hall of Fame Game 20 days out and the regular-season opener in Seattle 54 days away.
Why it matters: Camp opens after a tumultuous offseason, with the same ownership transition that Seattle carries into July still awaiting a formal NFL vote. The 54-day runway to kickoff leaves a narrow window to install schemes before games start counting toward the standings.
What to watch: Watch for the full 32-team camp report within 11 days and the Hall of Fame Game in 20 days, both ahead of Seattle's Week 1 opener.
