The NFL released the upcoming calendar for the offseason workouts for all 32 clubs. Believe it or not, the kickoff for the first dates is just 18 days away for the Detroit Lions.
The first day for the voluntary offseason program begins on April 19th. That’s when the Lions can begin Phase One of the workout program. This consists of meetings, athletic training and injury rehab.
OTAs begin on May 24th, with three separate three-day workouts. The team’s mandatory minicamp slots between the second and third block of OTAs, on June 7th through the 9th.
Like all teams, the Lions will also have a rookie minicamp. That exact date has not yet been released by the NFL, which establishes those schedules for all teams.
