The NFL officially kicked off their first full week of preseason action Thursday night, as the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 23-21 in Foxborough and the Baltimore Ravens kept their historic 21-game preseason winning streak alive by taking down the Tennessee Titans 23-10 at home.

On Friday, we get a full five-game slate of preseason action:

Atlanta Falcons at Detroit Lions (6 p.m. ET, NFL Network)

Cleveland Browns at Jacksonville Jaguars (7 p.m. ET)

Arizona Cardinals at Cincinnati Bengals (7:30 p.m. ET)

New York Jets at Philadelphia Eagles (7:30 p.m. ET)

With another eight games Saturday and the Minnesota Vikings and Las Vegas Raiders battling Sunday (4:25 p.m. ET, NFL Network), many teams didn’t have a practice session Friday, but that doesn’t mean nothing interesting happened. That includes news that Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins won’t be available Sunday due to COVID-19.

Here’s a look around 2022 NFL training camps as we get set for the weekend action:
