A half hour is plenty of time to get material for an article if they have a plan going in.  Pick a particular player and/or unit and focus on them entirely for that days report. With, I believe, two "reporters" on hand, there's two areas that you could cover - have one follow an offensive group and the other a defensive group or a particular coach.  Say who stood out in whatever drills you were able to see, etc.  You could throw in filler about how the player/unit did last year, comings and goings at the position, etc.  They could mention things that are being practiced differently than last season and either directly or indirectly allude to how they support potential changes in the schemes that will be used this year, using appropriate restraint to not print things that will give away strategies the coaches would prefer to be hidden and limit future access.
 
I get the impression that they just showed up for the first practice, ran/looked all around (are the reporters confined to an area or can they walk about?), and went with the George R.R. Martin Game of Thrones style wardrobe descriptions after realizing they didn't see anything/know what to look for.  Later articles seem to be taking the approach I mention above, so there's some hope.  At least we know that there will be good reports after tomorrow's practice.
