NFL teams that need the preseason most: Dolphins, Browns, Raiders and more

Key Points:

• The NFL preseason is crucial for teams to finalize rosters, settle position battles, and evaluate new players, especially for teams with new coaches, quarterbacks, or significant roster changes.
• Miami Dolphins need the preseason to assess new QB Malik Willis adapting to a new system without star receivers, determine their wide receiver corps, and address questions in their injury-hit secondary.
• Cleveland Browns face a key quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders, must integrate an entirely new offensive line, and evaluate a wide receiver group with promising young talent.
• Las Vegas Raiders have a new head coach and revamped roster, particularly on defense, and need preseason reps for rookie QB Fernando Mendoza and to identify emerging wide receivers.
• New York Jets look to resolve several key position battles and provide critical playing time for highly anticipated rookies like David Bailey and Omar Cooper Jr., who have yet to start.
