Eleven teams are scheduled to open their mandatory three-day minicamps this week, and 18 more will follow next week. The Miami Dolphins held their camp last week while the Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals aren't holding minicamp this year.
Teams already have been going through organized team activities, but this marks the first time many veterans will take the field since the end of last season -- including Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, who retired and unretired in a 40-day span. It also includes some players who joined new teams in a whirlwind of an offseason.
