Soon enough, the Los Angeles Rams will be back on the field in preparation of the 2020 season. On Wednesday, the team announced dates for the upcoming offseason workout program, which begins on April 20.
Mandatory minicamp will be held on June 15-18, which is when the majority of players, if not all of them, will be back in the fold. Here’s the full schedule, as laid out by the Rams.
- Phase 1: April 20
- Rookie minicamp: May 8-10
- Phase 2: May 4
- Phase 3: May 26
- Mandatory minicamp: June 15-18
Players won’t hit the field in Phase 1 of the offseason program, but will instead be in the weight room and doing work in the classroom. In Phase 2, players will be on the field, but there will be no live contact.
Phase 3 consists of organized team activities, or OTAs, which will run for four weeks with 10 days of practice. Players are not required to attend any aspect of the offseason program until mandatory minicamp.
In recent years, Sean McVay has used rookie minicamp to try out other players rather than getting the incoming draft class on the field. It remains to be seen how minicamp will work this year.
