Cardinals Offseason Program Dates Announced
The NFL has released dates for each club's offseason workout programs, and we now know specific dates for when the Arizona Cardinals will hit the field:
OTA Offseason Workouts: May 22-23, May 25, May 31-June 2, June 5-8
Mandatory Minicamp: June 13-15
Rookie Minicamp: May 12-14
The league has three different phases for teams to follow as the offseason progresses:
Phase 1: consists of the first two weeks of the program with activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.
Phase 2: 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 3: 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.
Since the Cardinals had a first-time head coach in Jonathan Gannon, the team was allowed to have an extra period of voluntary workouts prior to the NFL draft. Isaiah Simmons and DeAndre Hopkins were not spotted on the field.
