Two-Minute Drill: Florida’s three NFL teams ready for their first preseason games
USA Today Florida Sports Network’s Two-Minute Drill takes a look at this weekend’s preseason games for the Dolphins, Buccaneers and Jaguars.
It’s officially Week 1 of the NFL…preseason.
While the games that take place during the three-week preseason schedule ultimately mean nothing – at least in terms of scores and results – they still give fans a glimpse into the future of their NFL teams, including Tennessee fans, whose hometown Titans will be missing one of the best running backs in recent history in 2024.

After eight seasons in Tennessee, Derrick Henry, a five-time 1,000-yard rusher and two-time NFL rushing leader, is no longer a Titan. Instead, he will play for the AFC North’s Baltimore Ravens, who are trying to get back to the AFC championship game. The Titans now rely entirely on quarterback Will Levis, but he can count on Tyjae Spears and Tony Pollard to fill the large void left by Henry.
How these and other storylines play out in the regular season remains to be seen. But these aren’t the only big stories that will interest NFL fans in the preseason.
Here is the full NFL preseason schedule for Week 1, including times, dates, locations, scores and more:
