The 2026 NFL season begins in less than three months, but first, teams are continuing with their offseason workout programs.
This week, 17 NFL teams kick into high gear with their three-day minicamps. Then 11 teams will practice the week of June 15. Two teams — the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers — held their mandatory minicamps last week. The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams canceled their minicamps.
Following a monthlong break, all 32 training camps will begin in late July.
During the three weeks of minicamps, ESPN’s NFL reporters will be on the ground to provide updated information on position battles, notable appearances from rookies and new players, compelling quotes from coaches and players, and updates on injuries and holdout situations.
We will have updates every day of camp to keep you informed on all the newest. Here’s what you need to know from across the league, including depth charts for all 32 teams:

Week 2: What our NFL Nation reporters saw

Philadelphia Eagles
This minicamp served as a reminder of the work that lies ahead for the Eagles’ offense.
New offensive coordinator Sean Mannion is implementing a new system, and while there have been highlights — including a long run by Saquon Barkley through a hole the size of a truck — it’s going to take some time for everything to sync up. One play on Wednesday highlighted that, as cornerback Riq Woolen took advantage of a Jalen Hurts misfire to tight end Dallas Goedert and came up with an interception.
The defense — it is in its third year under coordinator Vic Fangio — looks well ahead of the offense, as it should. The offense is still in the early stages of adapting to a new scheme. Offensive players across the board are talking optimistically about Mannion and his designs, but it will take a while for them to get through the learning curve. — Tim McManus (June 10)

Cleveland Browns
Quarterbacks Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders split first-teams reps during the third and final day of mandatory minicamp. After practice, coach Todd Monken reiterated that he will continue to split reps between the two as Cleveland’s quarterback competition extends into training camp in late July.
Though he isn’t naming a starter at the end of the offseason workout program, Monken indicated that he is pleased with the Browns’ quarterback situation.
“It would feel different if I didn’t feel like their progression hadn’t gotten to this point where I think they both can start and play winning football,” Monken stated. “I’m convinced of it. I’d say it if I didn’t. I can’t decide now because I think both have earned the opportunity to continue to compete once we put the pads on.” — Daniel Oyefusi (June 11)

Seattle Seahawks
Running back Zach Charbonnet, who had surgery in February to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, did some light rehab work on the field during the Seahawks’ first practice of minicamp on Tuesday. That prompted a question to coach Mike Macdonald a day later about whether the fourth-year running back is on or ahead of schedule. As he typically is when it comes to timelines for injured players, Macdonald was vague.

“If you’re going to guess what type of schedule Zach Charbonnet would be on, that’s the type of schedule he’s on,” he stated. “Doing a great job. Doing a great job. I know he has high expectations for himself. I look forward to [seeing] where it ends up.”
When asked whether it’s possible for Charbonnet to be back by the start of the season, Macdonald smiled and stated, “Everything’s possible,” though that response felt more like the coach punting on the question than legitimately answering it.
What is clear is that the Seahawks believe Charbonnet has the diligence and determination to attack his rehab in a way that will give him a chance to beat the usual timelines for ACL repairs.
In the meantime, George Holani and first-round pick Jadarian Price have been splitting running back reps with the starters, while free-agent pickup Emanuel Wilson has gotten most of his work with the second team.

The Seahawks held a walk-through Wednesday in order to spend the afternoon in the community, with players splitting into four groups that would visit either Children’s Hospital, the VA hospital, Ronald McDonald House or the Family First Community Center, which was co-founded by former Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin. They will hold a normal practice Thursday before receiving their Super Bowl LX rings during a ceremony later that evening.

Macdonald stated last week that second-year wideout Tory Horton was making enough strides in his recovery from a shin injury that he might be able to take part in minicamp in some capacity. That won’t happen, according to Macdonald, who added “it’s still all positive” with Horton and that he should be on the field early in training camp, if not for the start of it.
-
Macdonald had an interesting answer when asked about Seattle’s recent addition of veteran tackle Bobby Hart. It was indeed tied to the fact that Josh Jones — Seattle’s primary backup to Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas — has not been practicing. But that doesn’t appear to be due to injury. “Bobby is a good tackle,” Macdonald stated. “We need a third tackle and Josh hasn’t practiced yet. Josh needs to practice to compete with Bobby. Right now, Bobby’s practicing.” When asked if Jones’ inability to practice is related to the ankle and knee injuries he played through late last season, Macdonald stated, “He’s just not ready to practice yet. He needs to become ready to practice. That’s his responsibility.” — Brady Henderson (June 10)

Baltimore Ravens
Kicker Tyler Loop lined up for a 40-yard field goal attempt on the last play Wednesday, knowing he could get the entire team out of post-practice meetings on the final day of minicamp. Loop nailed the kick, and the Ravens celebrated a successful offseason.
Afterward, Loop insisted he has moved past last season’s finale in Pittsburgh, where his missed 44-yard attempt left the Ravens short of the playoffs.
“I would say that the biggest thing I did was acknowledge and accept it,” Loop stated in his first comments since that 26-24 loss to the Steelers on Jan. 4. “Moving on from the kick itself was pretty easy. I’d say the biggest part moving on was just letting the people that I care about, and that care about me, know that I’m good. Nothing’s changed for me. I still feel confident in my abilities.” — Jamison Hensley (June 10)

Buffalo Bills
The Bills wrapped up the last day of mandatory minicamp under coach Joe Brady with a shortened walk-through. The day was followed by roster moves that included some clarity on second-year cornerback Dorian Strong.
The team waived the 2025 sixth-round pick with a non-football injury designation. The goal is to place him on reserve/NFL unless he is claimed on waivers. He is expected to miss the upcoming season.
Strong had surgery this offseason on a neck injury that led to him playing in only the first four games of his rookie season, including a strong performance in a Week 1 start because of injuries elsewhere. He was placed on injured reserve on Oct. 4.
“Just in the healing phase right now. There’s not a lot of rehab to it. It’s just kind of see how it does. It’s a specialized surgery,” general manager Brandon Beane stated at the annual league meeting in March.
The outside cornerback has been present at the team’s offseason program, observing the sessions. He had a neck brace visible in May but has not been seen with it on in recent weeks. His future in football is uncertain beyond this year. The Bills also signed WR Deven Thompkins, who tried out during minicamp, and WR Max Tomczak, while waiving RB Desmond Reid (injured) and WR Gabriel Benyard. — Alaina Getzenberg (June 11)

Even though the Packers didn’t have a first-round pick this year, there were several rookies who made strong impressions during the offseason program.
None more so than fifth-rounder Jager Burton. The offensive lineman from Kentucky spent the entire minicamp working with the starters. While injuries necessitated the move with left guard Aaron Banks and right tackle Zach Tom in the rehab group, Burton took snaps at both guard positions with the No. 1 offensive line.
“I see a really young guy that’s extremely coachable, athletic, and is maximizing the most of his opportunities,” coach Matt LaFleur stated. “So I think every practice he gets a little bit more comfortable, a little bit better, and I can see him, he’s definitely going to be in the mix to compete for playing time this year.”
Of the other five draft picks, third-round defensive tackle Chris McClellan also has gone some snaps with the starters in part because he’s at one of thinnest positions this offseason with the likes Devonte Wyatt, Jordon Riley and Javon Hargrave all spending time in the rehab group.
Top pick Brandon Cisse, the second-round cornerback, worked mostly with the No. 2s but got a few snaps with the starters at the one of the outside positions.
Fourth-round pick Dani Dennis-Sutton flashed some pass-rush ability from the edge in the non-padded practices, while sixth-round cornerback Domani Jackson was a non-participant because of an undisclosed injury.
If there’s concern about any of the draft picks, it’s sixth-rounder Trey Smack. The kicker missed a 35-yard field goal in a 2-minute drill during which the offense needed a field goal to win. It capped an inconsistent spring for Smack. — Rob Demovsky (June 11)

New England Patriots
Wide receiver A.J. Brown delivered the highlight-reel play of the final practice of mandatory minicamp, and he credited his baseball background for making it happen.
The Patriots were working in the red zone, and no one appeared to be open for quarterback Drake Maye. Instead of throwing the ball away, Maye fired a pass in the direction of Brown in the back left-hand corner of the end zone.
Brown wasn’t looking back as it left Maye’s right hand, but he turned at the last moment to rise up and snatch it while getting his feet down in bounds.
“I think Drake started on the right side, but came back to me a little late, threw the ball — a great ball — back shoulder,” Brown stated. “I just kind of turned my head. Obviously, the DB doesn’t know where the ball is. My background playing baseball, centerfield, turning over the shoulder, looking over the shoulder — that’s a tough catch, man. I’m just glad I got my feet down.” — Mike Reiss (June 11)

Chicago Bears
Braxton Jones has taken all the first team reps at left tackle this spring, months removed from re-signing with the Bears on a one-year contract. This offseason feels like “night and day” for Jones, who doesn’t have to spend the spring and summer rehabbing from the ankle injury that prohibited him from playing at his best in 2025.
He’s finally healthy and playing with a confidence that is noticeable to those around him.
“He’s a lot more comfortable in what’s being asked of him and hopefully the game continues to slow down,” coach Ben Johnson stated.
While the Bears won’t get to fully evaluate any play in the trenches until the team is in pads, Jones has the inside track to claim the left tackle job in a competition that has also included Kiran Amegadjie and Jedrick Wills Jr. Despite being benched in Week 4 last season, the former fifth-round pick believes the lessons that came from that adversity may have sparked the best outcome for his career longevity.
“I just don’t think I was at my best with my injury and mentally it can be a lot,” Jones stated. “But I’m grateful for that, to be able to look back and see that and realize that I was right there, I just needed to trust what I was in. That’s simply all it is. So going back, looking at that, I’m very grateful that it all happened the way I needed, just because it kind of punched me in the face a little bit too, as well, and made me wake up a little bit. Like, I genuinely got to do a lot of things to get better, especially with the injury I was coming back from.” — Courtney Cronin (June 10)

Indianapolis Colts
The Colts haven’t decided whether they plan to add to their receiving corps with Michael Pittman Jr. now traded to Pittsburgh and Alec Pierce still rehabbing from offseason ankle surgery. But with the assessment of the position continuing during minicamp this week, veteran special-teams ace Ashton Dulin made a strong bid to be given a shot to be the No. 3 receiver with an impressive week.
Dulin had one of the highlights of the week when he made a difficult red zone reception against star cornerback Sauce Gardner, who unsuccessfully tried to wrestle the ball from Dulin.
The Colts must decide whether a top three featuring Pierce, Josh Downs and Dulin is sufficient, especially in light of Dulin’s critical role as a gunner and other roles in the kicking game.
“The biggest thing is consistency,” coach Shane Steichen stated of what will decide the No. 3 spot.
The Colts are still mulling a potential roster move at receiver, with remaining free-agent options including Keenan Allen and Deebo Samuel. — Stephen Holder (June 11)

Kansas City Chiefs
In his news conference Thursday, Chiefs coach Andy Reid treated the final day of the team’s mandatory minicamp as his annual state-of-the-union address before the players have their summer break.
“I like the effort that they put,” Reid stated of his players. “We had great attendance.”
Reid shared that rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane didn’t participate in the minicamp because he sustained a shoulder injury. Reid, though, does expect Delane to be ready when the Chiefs open training camp.
The lone player who wasn’t at the team’s training facility this week was receiver Rashee Rice, who is in jail in Dallas to serve his 30 days after violating the terms of his probation for his role in a crash that left multiple people injured on a Dallas highway two years ago. Rice is set to be released Tuesday. Reid thinks that Rice will be available for the start of training camp despite the receiver having a clean-up surgery on his right knee in May to remove loose debris that was causing inflammation. — Nate Taylor (June 11)

Arizona Cardinals
The Cardinals cancelled their final day of minicamp on Wednesday, sending the players home for a 42-day break before they report to training camp on July 22. Coach Mike LaFleur stated he broke camp early for four reasons:
-
The Cardinals got out of the offseason workouts healthy.
-
He liked where the team was after 10 practices.
-
Arizona is starting training camp a week earlier than the rest of the league because it is playing Aug. 6 in the Hall of Fame Game.
-
He “absolutely” hates the last practice of minicamp because players know it’s the last one and the coaches can’t review the tape with them. — Josh Weinfuss (June 10)

Minnesota Vikings
Defensive lineman Caleb Banks, a first-round pick who is recovering from a broken left foot, began working on the team’s rehab field this week during minicamp. When asked if he thinks Banks will be ready to practice when training camp begins at the end of July, coach Kevin O’Connell stated: “Yeah, I do.”
Banks has had two surgeries to repair three breaks of the foot since the beginning of his final season at Florida. The most-recent injury came in February as he was warming up for running at the scouting combine. But the Vikings felt confident using the No. 18 pick of the draft to select him, and project him as a potential starter as a rookie if he remains healthy.
“The feedback I’m getting from [assistant] coaches … has been phenomenal,” O’Connell stated, “as far as his ability to hear information, retain it and apply it. There’s a lot of different ways we can be activating Caleb’s brain and the above-the-neck challenge of learning [defensive coordinator Brian Flores’] intricate system. I’m excited about where he’s at.” — Kevin Seifert (June 11)

Las Vegas Raiders
Raiders coach Klint Kubiak expects rookie cornerback Jermod McCoy to be a full participant during training camp after not practicing for the majority of OTAs and mandatory minicamp.
Kubiak stated McCoy’s lack of presence during the team’s practices is a part of the medical staff’s plan to get the fourth-round pick back to full strength after he missed the entire 2025 college football season due to a knee injury.
McCoy will be competing with Darien Porter and fifth-round pick Hezekiah Masses for the starting outside cornerback job, opposite of veteran Eric Stokes.
“[Wellness coordinator] Alex Guerrero has got a great plan with our medical staff, and we’re bringing him along slowly,” stated Kubiak. “… I expect him to practice [during training camp], and it’s going to be a moving target [on] him, but we drafted him for a reason, so I expect him to compete in camp and get plenty of reps.” — Ryan McFadden (June 11)
Walker signed a four-year extension with the Jaguars earlier this year. James Gilbert/Getty ImagesJacksonville Jaguars
During an end-of-season meeting, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen told DE Travon Walker that he needed to be more like former Los Angeles Rams DT Aaron Donald: Be as dominant in practice and games. Walker apparently got the message because Coen lauded Walker’s performance in the three-day mandatory minicamp that wrapped up Thursday.
“Travon Walker showed up in a big way, especially when we got into some competitive situations, doing what I challenged him with, which was to dominate,” Coen stated after Thursday’s practice. “Through the first two days of minicamp he didn’t lose many reps so I think we got better.”
Walker – who has 27.5 career sacks — signed a four-year, $110 million extension with $50 million fully guaranteed in April. That gives the first overall pick in 2022 a $27.5 million annual salary, which ranks 14th among edge rushers. — Michael DiRocco (June 11)

New York Giants
The Giants came out to practice for their final day of minicamp in T-shirts, and many players wore sneakers. Their workout consisted of one hour and 10 minutes of what coach John Harbaugh called a “mental sweat.” Essentially, it was a walk-through on the last day of school. The Giants are now off for seven weeks until they report to training camp in West Virginia in late July.
They’re on the road for training camp because their practice facility will be under construction this summer while the World Cup (including the final) takes place across the parking lot. As the Giants turn their attention to training camp, the only real injury to watch is Malik Nabers. Abdul Carter (ankle) was on the field Wednesday after suffering a minor sprain earlier in the week.
But at least Nabers appears on the right path. Harbaugh stated he’s “doing great” and made some real progress in the past few weeks. All eyes on him for Week 1.— Jordan Raanan (June 10)

Houston Texans
Texans’ first-round pick Keylan Rutledge got some reps at left guard with the first-team offensive line group during two-minute team drills. It was one of the few times the former Georgia Tech standout ran with the starting group. Throughout OTAs and the first day of minicamp, Rutledge has mainly worked with the second-team offense at center. So the Texans are cross-training him in preparation to play either center or guard. Their second-round pick Kayden McDonald has run with the second-team defense as the former Ohio State defensive tackle is getting acclimated to coach DeMeco Ryans’ system. Even though the Texans’ first two draft picks are slotted with the second team, Rutledge and McDonald will have every opportunity to become starters during training camp.
Quick hit
The Texans did a lot of walk-through team drills with the hopes of becoming a “smarter” team according to Ryans. The Houston culture is set so Ryans feels it’s better to use OTAs and minicamp to develop the mental aspect of Houston instead of focusing too much on competition. — D.J. Bien-Aime (June 10)

Carolina Panthers
Coach Dave Canales, 45, wore a Band-Aid on his nose Tuesday at minicamp, later revealing that he recently underwent a procedure to remove a small spot of basal cell carcinoma. Canales stated that two months ago a routine skin cancer screening performed by the team identified some areas of concern on his nose. — Associated Press (June 9)
Week 1: Dolphins, Steelers end minicamps

For the first time in an open practice this spring, the Dolphins ran red zone drills on the final day of mandatory minicamp Thursday. The results were a mixed bag, but quarterback Malik Willis did throw a pair of touchdown passes to Theo Wease Jr and Malik Washington.
Quarterbacks don’t typically scramble during team drills, but coach Jeff Hafley stated Willis’ running ability is a dynamic that will stress opposing defenses, and he wants the quarterback to incorporate that element at practice. Willis’ legs will likely be a weapon in the red zone come the regular season, but he hasn’t run much during spring practices.
Quick hits
-
Defensive tackle Zach Sieler continued to work on the side after suffering an undisclosed but “minor” injury earlier this week. Wide receiver Caleb Douglas also did not practice after he was injured during Wednesday’s session.
-
Hafley stated Jamaree Salyer’s injury won’t keep him sidelined long-term, but the guard did not practice Thursday and could possibly miss the team’s final week of OTAs next week, as well.
-
Running back De’Von Achane still did not participate in team drills as he rehabs from offseason shoulder surgery, but did partake in walk-throughs at the beginning of Thursday’s practice. — Marcel Louis-Jacques (June 4)

Veteran pass rusher Alex Highsmith wasn’t at the second day of the Steelers’ mandatory minicamp. It appears to be unrelated to fellow outside linebacker Nick Herbig agreeing to a $100 million, four-year extension the day before. Steelers spokesperson Burt Lauten stated that Highsmith, who has two years left on an extension signed in 2023, missed practice because he was dealing with an illness. Highsmith and Herbig are two of the Steelers’ three highly compensated pass rushers.
Factoring in T.J. Watt’s contract, the Steelers now have the second-highest-paid group of edge rushers by average annual value at $84 million AAV, behind only the Houston Texans ($96 million AAV).
“Oh, we’re deep,” Watt stated Wednesday. “Obviously not just our room but the defensive front as a whole is really deep, and we really care about each other, too. That’s the cool thing about this group is we’re constantly trying to help each other out. We don’t care who makes the plays. We just want to be as successful as we possibly can. We want to work together and just continue to grow, and we’re really happy with how things have started this summer.” — Brooke Pryor (June 3)
