On Friday, the NFL announced the 2024 calendar for teams to use when scheduling offseason workouts, which can include up to nine weeks of voluntary workouts spread across three phases.
- Phase One takes place during a team’s first two weeks of their offseason program and limits allowable activities to meetings, strength and conditioning workouts, and physical rehabilitation for injured players.
- Phase Two takes place over the following three weeks and allows for more skill-specific training. Workouts can take place on the football field but absolutely no live contact or offense vs. defense drills are allowed. Instead, drills are restricted to individual or group instruction and “perfect play drills.” Phase Two also allows for offensive players to line up across from offensive players in drills that are conducted as a walk-through. Similarly, defensive players can line up across from other defensive players for the same type of drills.
- Phase Three is the final four weeks of a team’s offseason workout program. During this phase, there is still no live contact permitted. However, 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are allowed. During this phase, teams are allowed 10 days of organized team practice activities - commonly known as OTA’s
