With Memorial Day Weekend in the rear-view mirror, teams across the NFL are preparing to get back to work by resuming organized team activities. A number of 27 teams are set to conduct multiple workouts this week and most of those will begin on Tuesday.

Among the teams holding OTAs this week are the Cincinnati Bengals, Buffalo Bills, Denver Broncos, Cleveland Browns, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Kansas City Chiefs, Indianapolis Colts, Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, Atlanta Falcons, San Francisco 49ers, New York Giants, New York Jets, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, Washington Redskins, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings.

The Bills, Browns, Chiefs and Eagles will wrap up their OTAs this week, as they look ahead to next month’s mandatory minicamps.

OTAs are not as important to NFL teams as mandatory minicamps or training camps, but you have to appreciate the players that show up for every offseason workout as they prepare for the upcoming seasons.

They say that champions are made in the offseason, and that all begins during OTAs.
