With the NFL’s exhibition schedule coming to an end this week, every team has at least one concern. With the Giants agreeing to terms with receiver Odell Beckham Monday, their ‘’To Do List,’’ is fairly well completed. Other teams aren’t so lucky.
The following are the key questions each NFL team must answer:
NFC EAST
Dallas: Ezekiel Elliott hasn’t played in the preseason, so what is the level of rust?
Giants: Will Beckham live up to his word and become a model citizen?
Eagles: How soon before Carson Wentz is cleared to play?
Redskins: Will running back Chris Thompson and tight end Jordan Reed be ready for the opener?
NFC NORTH
Chicago: Will second-year quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who isn’t expected to play this weekend, get enough snaps before the opener?
Detroit: Can the Lions develop a pass rush?
Green Bay: Who will be Aaron Rodgers’ backup, DeShone Kizer or Brett Hundley?
Minnesota: How soon before the offense clicks with new quarterback Kirk Cousins?
NFC SOUTH
Atlanta: Will Beckham’s contract prompt the Falcons to begin negotiations with receiver Julio Jones, who turns 30 in February?
Carolina: How much have the Panthers adjusted their offense to limit Cam Newton carrying the ball?
New Orleans: Who will be in the Saints’ receiver rotation among Cameron Meredith, Ted Ginn and Tre’ Quan Smith, behind Michael Thomas.
Tampa Bay: Will quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick get the Bucs off to a fast start while Jameis Winton serves his suspension?
NFC WEST
Arizona: How healthy is quarterback Sam Bradford?
Los Angeles: Will Aaron Donald be signed or hold out?
San Francisco: Although Jimmy Garoppolo was brilliant in five games last season after coming over from New England, but how will adapt to becoming a starter?
Seattle: With Richard Sherman gone, how well would a new secondary – save safety Earl Thomas – mesh?
AFC EAST
Buffalo: Will coach Sean McDermott name rookie Josh Allen the starting quarterback?
Miami: Who will the Dolphins’ backup quarterback to Ryan Tannehill, Brock Osweiler or David Fales?
New England: How rocky is the relationship between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick?
New York: After taking nearly 75 percent of the preseason snaps, will Sam Darnold start as a rookie?
AFC NORTH
Baltimore: Will the Ravens work in rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson unveil a system where he plays with Joe Flacco?
Cincinnati: How good is the defensive line, which is coming off a five-sack game against Buffalo?
Cleveland: How soon before first-round No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield plays?
Pittsburgh: Will Le’Veon Bell get the new contract he wants or will he become a distraction?
AFC SOUTH
Houston: He says he is, but how healthy is quarterback Deshaun Watson?
Indianapolis: Often-injured quarterback Andrew Luck has a foot injury, but will it keep him out of the opener.
Jacksonville: How will the Jaguars replace receiver Marqise Lee, who is lost for the season with a knee injury?
Tennessee: How well will the Titans’ make-shift offensive line protect Marcus Mariotta, or will he be reduced to be a scrambler?
AFC WEST
Denver: Is Case Keenum the answer at quarterback, or will Paxton Lynch get a chance?
Kansas City: Did the Chiefs make the right decision in letting Alex Smith depart and go with the inexperienced Patrick Mahomes at quarterback?
Los Angeles: When will defensive end Khalil Mack’s holdout end?
San Diego: Has defensive end Joey Bosa lost any explosiveness because of a foot injury?
