The NFL just announced its nine-week off-season workout routine for all 32 teams. The training programs are divided into three phases: one mandatory minicamp for the entire roster and one rookie minicamp for each group.
Phase One consists of the first two weeks of the program, during which activities are limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.
Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program, which include on-field workouts, which may include individual or group instruction.
Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program, during which teams may conduct ten days of organized team practice activities, or “OTAs.”
No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are allowed.
Philadelphia will report on April 21.
With the rest of the offseason schedule now completed, here are four things to watch.
Toughness must be maintained despite Super Bowl win
When Nick Sirianni was initially hired, team leaders convinced the first-year head coach to eliminate the mandatory Minicamp and focus on keeping players healthy. Philadelphia had the lightest OTA workload of any team in the league, but that changed after the 2023 collapse. After winning the Super Bowl, the Eagles will balance maintaining that toughness while lessening the load slightly. The team will report for off-season workouts on April 21; They will have six OTA sessions and one mandatory minicamp.
Mandatory minicamp
There won't be days of a mandatory minicamp; instead, one session'll be held on June 10.
OTAs
The OTAs are divided into phases, and the Eagles will convene for on-field sessions six times before the mandatory minicamp: May 27-28, May 30, June 2-3, and June 5.
Pace and competition
It'll be year No. 5 for Nick Sirianni with a slightly retooled coaching staff. Sirianni has preached competition since the beginning, and things will be intense with a new offensive coordinator, a new quarterbacks coach, and several new faces on the defensive side of the football. There's continuity with Jalen Hurts, and the entire offensive personnel will be needed during an offseason of change.
