As the last week of July dawns, all 32 of the NFL's teams have opened training camp. In a few days, the Atlanta Falcons and Denver Broncos will kick off the preseason with the 2019 Hall of Fame Game.

With camps in full swing from coast to coast, there's no shortage of buzz and news floating around. Certain players have shined in the early going. Meanwhile, some teams are dealing with ill-timed injuries or holdouts.

Here's a look at the latest happenings throughout the NFL, starting with a bulked-up, record-setting young quarterback looking to make it back to the postseason.

Lamar Jackson Set for Big Rushing Workload Again in 2019

Last year, Baltimore Ravens rookie Lamar Jackson carried the ball 147 times, setting an NFL record for rushing attempts by a quarterback in a season.

Jackson might not run the ball as many times per game in his first full season as a starter, but his legs are still going to be a big part of Baltimore's offense.

When Ravens head coach John Harbaugh learned Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton's career high for rushing attempts in a season is 139, he said to "take the over" in reference to Jackson, according to Aditi Kinkhabwala of NFL Network.

When Jackson took over for Joe Flacco last year, Baltimore rode a run-heavy game plan all the way to an AFC North title. And as Aaron Kasinitz of PennLive wrote last week, Jackson added 7-10 pounds of muscle to help break arm tackles and better absorb the pounding that comes with running the ball regularly.

But in the Ravens' playoff loss to the Chargers, the Los Angeles defense seemed to figure that scheme out somewhat. If the Ravens are going to repeat as AFC North champions in 2019, they will need Jackson to make a leap as a passer, too.

Harbaugh also said the Baltimore offense in 2019 will be unlike anything we've ever seen, per Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk.

"The game was probably revolutionized with Bill Walsh and Joe Montana," he said. "What's the next era going to be? We're about to find out."

Ezekiel Elliott's International Holdout

A number of prominent NFL players are holding out as they pursue a new contract.

Among that group, no one is more important to his team's prospects in 2019 than Dallas Cowboys tailback Ezekiel Elliott.

While the rest of the Cowboys have gathered in Oxnard, California, Elliott is headed south of the border. According to Kevin Turner of 105.3 The Fan, Elliott will continue his holdout in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Before Cowboys fans start worrying Elliott will fall out of shape, it's worth noting that the reigning rushing king is going to Cabo to train. He did the same in 2017 while he served a six-game suspension for violating the personal conduct policy.

On Friday, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones expressed confidence that Elliott and the team will eventually reach an agreement.

"We feel optimistic that things usually work themselves out," Jones said, per Turner. "We've been doing this for 30 years, so we're not surprised. It's a business."

We'll see whether his tune changes if Elliott's holdout drags on into the preseason.

Jets WR Jamison Crowder Suffers Foot Injury

Wide receivers in New York have gotten off to a rough start in camp.

After injuries and a suspension ravaged the Giants receiving corps last week, the Jets lost a pass-catcher Monday.

Fifth-year veteran Jamison Crowder, who signed with the Jets this offseason, left the practice field and was taken to the locker room with an injury to his left foot, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.

Jets head coach Adam Gase indicated Crowder, who missed seven games last year due to a right ankle injury, will undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury, per Kevin Patra of NFL.com.

It's a rotten break for a talented receiver who was looking for a fresh start in New York. Crowder had already made quite an impression on his new quarterback.

"Everyone knows how quick he is, but man, he's fast, too," Sam Darnold said of Crowder, via Ralph Vacchiano of SNY. "And I think he can hit another gear."

Jordan Howard Running Away with RB Job in Philadelphia

Per SportsRadio 94WIP, former Philadelphia Eagles fullback Jon Ritchie is tired of the insinuation that tailback Jordan Howard isn't a high-end talent.

"I am so tired of the Jordan Howard disrespect. ... I am a fan of the running back position. I was what some would call a running back. I was in the running back room. I did the running back drills. I ate, slept, I lived with the running backs for 20 years. Jordan Howard is a great running back.

"And for whatever reason, everyone somehow pinned him as, I don't know, just a committee guy because we run running back by committee here. You choose to say, 'Ah, he's nothing special.' Like, why is it that everyone seems to forget what they've seen for the last three years from Jordan Howard? Jordan Howard is a monster!"

Over the last three seasons, only Todd Gurley of the Rams and Ezekiel Elliott of the Cowboys have more rushing yards than Howard, as Ritchie noted. And while some pundits have already started the countdown to rookie Miles Sanders usurping Howard as Philly's lead back, head coach Doug Pederson appears to have something else in mind.

According to 94WIP's Eliot Shorr-Parks, Howard has "dominated" first-team carries in camp, with Sanders "not even a close second."

Take note, fantasy football drafters.

Panthers WR Curtis Samuel Continues to Shine

With Devin Funchess now in Indianapolis, the Carolina Panthers need someone at wide receiver opposite youngster D.J. Moore.

From all indications, third-year pro Curtis Samuel plans to be that guy.

Samuel has been one of the offensive standouts of camp, drawing praise from head coach Ron Rivera.

"I think his confidence is very high," Rivera said, via Bill Voth of the team's website. "He's worked very, very hard. ... He's done what we've asked him to do—and more. That's why you see him playing with so much confidence."

On Monday, offensive coordinator Norv Turner also lauded Samuel's progress this offseason.

"He's becoming an outstanding route-runner," Turner said, via Max Henson of the team's website.

After playing running back at Ohio State, Samuel demonstrated during his first two NFL seasons that he's both an electric talent and a work in progress as a wideout.

Apparently, that work in progress is coming along quite well.

Fewer Snaps and More Work for Christian McCaffrey in 2019?

In 2018, Christian McCaffrey was the offensive centerpiece of the Carolina Panthers.

In his second NFL season, McCaffrey gained almost 1,100 yards on 219 carries and caught 107 passes for another 867 yards. He came up just shy of 2,000 total yards and scored 13 touchdowns.

McCaffrey will undoubtedly be a vital cog in Carolina's offense this year as well. However, offensive coordinator Norv Turner expressed concern about his usage from last season, according to David Newton.

"Turner is 'concerned' about the number of touches running back Christian McCaffrey had last season, about 320," Newton reported. "That doesn't mean McCaffrey will be used less. Turner just wants to be smarter about using his star so he's playing less but perhaps getting more touches."

It's easy to plan on scaling back McCaffrey's snaps, but it's more difficult to follow through with it, especially when the depth chart behind him consists of a replacement-level talent and a pair of rookies.

Chiefs RB Damien Williams Sidelined by Hamstring Injury

The Kansas City Chiefs have Super Bowl aspirations this season.

To cement that trip to Miami, they'll need starting tailback Damien Williams to have a big year.

It's too early to become overly concerned, but the sixth-year veteran hasn't gotten off to an ideal start at camp.

As Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest reported, Williams sat out practice Monday with a hamstring pull he suffered in practice the day before.

If Williams' injury isn't serious, it will likely become an afterthought in due time. But the 27-year-old had never served as a featured back prior to the second half of 2018, and he's never had more than 50 carries in a season.

If Williams is sidelined for any length of time and backup Carlos Hyde plays well on the practice field, a competition could open for the No. 1 tailback job.

That would send the fantasy football community into quite the tizzy.

A.J. Brown, Derrick Henry Continue to Be MIA at Titans Camp

After Derrick Henry tore up the NFL this past December, the Tennessee Titans are counting on big things from their bruising tailback in 2019.

However, both Henry and rookie wide receiver A.J. Brown have been sidelined for the past few days.

According to Crissy Froyd of Titans Wire, Henry missed a third straight practice Monday after he suffered a lower-leg injury on the second day of camp. The fourth-year veteran, who gained 1,059 yards on 215 carries a year ago, is in a walking boot, but the injury isn't believed to be serious, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Less is known about Brown, who hasn't practiced since he slipped in practice on July 26. The second-rounder battled a hamstring issue during OTAs, so he might have aggravated it with that slip on the practice field.

If Henry's injury is as minor as believed, his missing some early practices is no big deal. But Brown needs all of the practice reps he can get as he acclimates to the pros.

Dolphins Fire OL Coach Pat Flaherty

There's a great deal of change in Miami in 2019 under new head coach Brian Flores. And the changes have kept right on rolling into training camp.

Miami's new-look offensive line has struggled mightily dating back to the spring, and it appears that Flores has seen enough. Per the team's Twitter account, the Dolphins fired offensive line coach Pat Flaherty and promoted analyst Dave DeGuglielmo into the role.

Josh McDaniels hired DeGuglielmo last year as part of his staff that never was in Indianapolis. After McDaniels decided to stay with the Patriots, the Colts decided to honor DeGuglielmo's contract.

They were handsomely rewarded, as Indy's O-line went from one of the NFL's worst to one of the best under DeGuglielmo.

A late change like this would typically be an ominous sign. But given how bad the 'Fins looked up front on the practice field and how well DeGuglielmo fared with the Colts in 2018, this might have been for the best.

The John Ross Nightmare Continues

Two years ago, the sky appeared to be the limit for Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross.

After Ross set a record with the fastest 40-yard dash time in NFL Scouting Combine history, the Bengals selected him with the No. 9 overall pick in 2017.

Since then, there's been no limit to how far he could sink.

As a rookie, Ross caught zero passes in three games. Last year, he caught only 21 passes for 210 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games.

The return on investment has been positively Enron-esque.

With A.J. Green now nursing an injury that might have opened the door for Ross to seize a bigger offensive role in 2019, the combine star turned draft bust is hurt—again.

According to Geoff Hobson of the team's website, Ross is expected to miss two weeks with a hamstring injury. That's hardly catastrophic news, but given Ross' history, it's not exactly welcome, either.
