Bengals' veterans will return to Paycor Stadium to begin their offseason workouts on April 21, the league announced today.
Per NFL rules, each team conducts a voluntary offseason program that is broken up into three phases.
Phase One takes place in the first two weeks of the program and is limited to strength and conditioning training and physical rehabilitation.
Phase Two follows over the ensuing three weeks. No live contact is allowed, but teams are permitted to begin on-field workouts, including individual and group drills, during this phase. Teams can conduct walkthroughs of drills and plays, but offensive players cannot line up against defensive players until Phase Three.
Phase Three takes place over a three-week period after Phase Two. OTAs, or organized team activities, take place during this phase. No live contact is allowed, but more drills are permitted, including 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11.
This phase is also when Mandatory Minicamp will occur. The Bengals will hold their OTA offseason workouts May 27-29 and June 2-4, while Mandatory Minicamp will take place June 10-12.
