NFL OTAs, minicamps schedule 2024: workout programs, Key information, dates, locations, for all 32 NFL teams..
NFL free agency has already seen the bulk of its action, and the draft will be held from April 25-27.
But April is also the month when NFL teams begin the first of three phases of their voluntary offseason workout programs.
The earliest ones will start on April 2 for teams that have new head coaches. That group includes the Los Angeles Chargers' Jim Harbaugh, Atlanta Falcons' Raheem Morris and Washington Commanders' Dan Quinn.
The Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans, who also have new coaches, will start on April 8.
The two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs and the rest of the NFL teams will open on April 15.
What is the NFL offseason workout program?
Voluntary offseason workout programs are nine-week programs that each team runs that are intended to provide training, teaching and physical conditioning for players over the course of three scheduled phases, as laid out by Article 21 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Phase One consists of activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning and physical rehabilitation only, and makes up the first two weeks of the program.
Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field workouts may include individual or group instruction and drills, as well as "perfect play drills," and drills with offensive players lining up across from offensive players or defensive players lining up across from defensive players, conducted at a walk-through pace. No live contact or team offense versus team defense drills are permitted.
Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program. Teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity (OTAs). 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills can be run during OTAs, but no live contact is permitted. Teams are also allowed to host various minicamps during Phase Three depending on the circumstances and coach's preferences.
What is the difference between OTAs and minicamps?
OTAs are 10-day offseason programs that are designed to help players improve through in-person meetings and classroom instruction, with less on-field practice. Minicamps are shorter, three-day workouts that also occur during Phase Three. Both OTAs and minicamps do not have live contact during the on-field workouts.
Are OTAs mandatory? Are minicamps mandatory?
All OTAs are completely voluntary. In contrast, different minicamps have different participation requirements. Each team is permitted to hold one mandatory minicamp during Phase Three.
When are OTAs/Minicamps?
Teams may choose to schedule their OTAs and minicamps at different times, but the OTAs will generally be held over a series of days in late May and early June. All teams that choose to hold a mandatory minicamp will be holding it within the first three weeks of June, though the specific dates vary by team. Dates for voluntary minicamps will also vary but will be held within the next few weeks, before the start of the 2022 NFL Draft on April 28.
