NFL minicamps won’t be held in June, virtual program extended

There will be no minicamps held this month.

There was a report from Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports that indicated minicamps could be held in June after coaches returned to their respective facilities. That’s no longer in the cards, though.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the league will not hold minicamps this month and has extended its virtual offseason program through June 26. This isn’t the first time the virtual offseason has been extended, either.

Previously, it was scheduled to run through May 15, which was then extended through the end of May, and then into mid-June, and now through June 26.

The NFL has taken steps toward getting team employees back in the building, allowing coaches to return to their facilities last week. Not every team took advantage of that change, but some did – including the Bengals and Steelers, among others.

The Rams are expected to have their coaches return on an optional basis beginning June 15, though it’s unclear if Sean McVay will be among those going into the office.

As of now, there’s no set timeline on when practices will begin or when training camp will take place. The Rams haven’t announced a start date for training camp, but typically, it takes place in late July. What we do know is that it will be held in Thousand Oaks at Cal Lutheran instead of off-site at UC Irvine.
