NFL changes offseason workout plans after pushback from NFLPA

After the NFLPA sent out a memo to its members recommending they don’t attend voluntary offseason workouts, the league has made changes to its plans.

The NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero says the revised plan is to extend the first phase of the offseason workout program to four weeks, with on-field training beginning on May 17.

The NFL informed clubs it will restructure offseason programs, with Phase 1 extended to four weeks starting Monday, no on-field work until Phase 2 begins May 17 and a normal Phase 3 with four weeks of practice May 24-June 18, culminating with the mandatory minicamp.
