What questions do the Cleveland Cavaliers face heading into training camp?
Coming off last season, expectations were already high in and around Cleveland's front office. But, when the team traded for Donovan Mitchell a few weeks ago, it further accelerated things and made the Cavaliers a favorite to make the playoffs for the first time without LeBron James since the 1997-98 season.

Cleveland, meanwhile, is the no. 1 rushing team in the NFL – averaging 190.7 yards per game on the ground. Chubb could get things going fairly quickly and then Brissett and Hunt can cause the floodgates to burst. If that were to happen, this game between the Browns and the Falcons could be over before it could ever get started. Read more.
