2024 NFL minicamps: Live updates, top highlights, latest reports, teams in action, notable holdouts

Everything you need to know as teams practice around the league

NFL teams continued offseason work this week, with many returning for organized team activities (OTAs) and others rolling through mandatory minicamp. Which clubs are ramping things up? Which big names aren't in attendance? We've got everything you need to know in this minicamp roundup.

Teams hosting mandatory minicamp

While many teams are still engaged in voluntary OTAs, the following began mandatory minicamp this week, requiring players to either attend or face NFL-sanctioned fines:

• Chicago Bears
• Dallas Cowboys
• Detroit Lions
• Houston Texans
• Indianapolis Colts
• Miami Dolphins
• Minnesota Vikings
• Philadelphia Eagles
• San Francisco 49ers
• Tennessee Titans

Notable holdouts

• Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb did not report to mandatory camp after also skipping voluntary OTAs. The three-time Pro Bowler is entering the final year of his rookie contract and figures to be seeking a lucrative long-term extension in the wake of other splashy wide receiver deals.
• San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk skipped the start of camp after also steering clear of voluntary OTAs. The 2023 All-Pro is entering the final year of his rookie deal, seeking a long-term extension. Both sides have reportedly struggled to make significant progress in talks.
• New York Jets defensive end Haason Reddick won't have the "chance" to skip minicamp until later this month, but he's yet to attend any OTAs, coach Robert Saleh told reporters Tuesday. Acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles via trade, Reddick is entering a contract year.
