Packers announce offseason program schedule

The NFL and its teams announced the offseason program schedule for 2024. The program is divided in three phases, that go from April to June.

The Green Bay Packers will start their offseason program on April 15, with phase 1. The organized team activities go from May 20 to June 6, while the Mandatory Minicamp will be held from June 11 to 13.

The rookie minicamp date is yet to be released — this part of the program is organized right after the draft.

Packers offseason schedule:

• First Day: April 15
• OTA Offseason Workouts: May 20-21, May 23, May 28-29, May 31, June 3-4, June 6
• Mandatory Minicamp: June 11-13

How the offseason program is structured

Phase One

Consists of the first two weeks of the program with activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.

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 and plays with offensive players lining up across from offensive players and defensive players lining up across from defensive players, conducted at a walk-through pace. 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.

Except for the mandatory minicamp, the entire offseason program is voluntary for players. However, the Green Bay Packers traditionally gives its players workout bonuses to incentivize and award participation in the activities.
