NFL.com provides highlights and buzz below from Saturday's training camps across the league.
Flacco shows perfect placement
The Browns' quadragenerian quarterback has settled in and looks to be right back to the thrower he was for Cleveland during the 2023 season. Taking a snap from the red zone, Joe Flacco dropped back and lobbed a pinpoint pass to the corner of the end zone, which undrafted rookie wide receiver Gage Larvadain collected for a pretty-looking six-point connection.

Fields looks none the worse for wear
A few days into training camp, the Jets received a scare when quarterback Justin Fields dislocated his toe and was carted away from practice. Luckily, New York's QB1 avoided serious injury and was not sidelined for long. He has since returned to action wearing a protective covering on his toe, and the extra gear doesn't appear to be slowing him down one bit. On Saturday, Fields showed his signature burst while streaking around the edge before sprinting to pay dirt.

WR interviews WR
Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle crashed his teammate Tyreek Hill's interview on Inside Training Camp to ask him an important question: After failing to crack 1,000 receiving yards in the wake of two consecutive campaigns eclipsing 1,700 yards, how will Cheetah bounce back?
Hill pointed to the power of friendship possibly allowing both wideouts to make up for a down 2024 campaign.
"I think the most important thing is for me and you to be best friends, bro," Hill said. "I feel like last year you ain't hang with me."
Almost on cue, Waddle left the interview early, a punchline -- intentional or not -- to Hill's observation. Regardless of Waddle's early exit, Hill has every confidence in Miami's offense to get back on track in 2025.
"It's a beautiful thing," he said of the unit's speed. "When the engines are rolling, when Tua (Tagovailoa)'s back there slinging the ball, it's a beautiful thing to see. We're a real hard team to stop."
The Dolphins will be counting on that to be true as they try to stop their playoff drought at a single season.

Batted pass becomes offensive highlight
Russell Wilson's deep ball is normally a thing of beauty. He threw one a touch short in Saturday's practice, which allowed cornerback Dru Phillips to tip the pass as both he and wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson fell to the ground. Unfortunately for Phillips, the ball redirected toward Robinson, who maintained his concentration to collect it before rising back to his feet and off to the races.

Brady watches Raiders take the field
There was a well-known spectator on the sidelines to watch the Raiders take the field on Saturday. Raiders minority owner Tom Brady was in attendance for the team's mock game at Allegiant Stadium. With Brady settling in as a minority owner, the seven-time Super Bowl winning QB was seen wearing the Silver & Black.
During the Raiders' mock game, quarterback Geno Smith threw a bullet pass to Pro Bowl tight end Brock Bowers for a touchdown. That connection has been rising as Smith found Bowers again for a score. The Raiders will hope that chemistry between their QB-TE translates to the regular season.
