2018 NFL offseason schedule: Here are the April-June workout dates for all 32 teams
OTAs? Minicamp? Here are the 2018 offseason workout dates for all 32 NFL teams.
The month of April isn't just about the NFL Draft, it also marks the first month of the offseason where teams are allowed to work out together.
The Bears and Cardinals got things started on Tuesday, when they held their first workout of the offseason. If you're wondering how things are going so far, Cardinals strength coach Buddy Morris is already thinking about drinking.
"Today was a good day for us," Morris said, via the Arizona Republic. "It wasn't great. It wasn't average. I saw some great things. I saw some things that make me want to go home and drink heavily."
Any team that hired a new coach this year -- a group that includes the Bears, Lions, Colts, Raiders, Cardinals, Giants and Titans -- was allowed to hold their first workout on Tuesday. However, only Arizona and Chicago took advantage of that rule. The other five teams with new coaches will be kicking off their offseason program on April 9. All other teams have to wait until April 16 to hold their first workout.
If you've ever wondered how the NFL breaks down the offseason, here's a look at the guidelines directly from the league:
- Phase One consists of the first two weeks of the program with activities limited to strength and conditioning and physical rehabilitation only.
- Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field workouts may include individual player instruction and drills as well as team practice conducted on a "separates" basis. No live contact or team offense vs. 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, or "OTAs." No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.
With that in mind, here are the offseason workout dates for each team:
