We’ve entered the second true dead zone of the NFL offseason. This one is punctuated only by rookie signings, contract extensions if they are hammered out, and the occasional team activity or minicamp, complete with rookie updates. It’s, um, kinda dull.
That’s why we’re looking forward to training camp, but in the meantime we’ll settle for a small handful of workouts and activities along the way. If you’re itching to know when we’ll get into those, and when we’ll see preseason games, we’ve got you covered here.

Training camp
Typically, the schedule for training camp is announced in mid-June, and that’s our expectation again this year. Training camp typically works around at least one preseason game (two with the Hall of Fame Game this year for Atlanta) and starts in late July, running through early-to-mid August.
