In just under three months, the 2024 NFL season will commence, signaling the countdown to kickoff. But before teams break for a summer hiatus prior to late-July training camps, they’re set to convene for mandatory minicamps.
This week, nine teams, including the Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, Dallas Cowboys, Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles, San Francisco 49ers, and Indianapolis Colts, have slated their minicamps. Meanwhile, the remaining 23 teams are scheduled to hold theirs next week.
These minicamps offer an opportunity to assess various aspects: who attends after skipping voluntary workouts, how rookies stack up against seasoned players, and how both offensive and defensive systems fare under new coordinators.
Each team’s session this week provides NFL Nation reporters with a focal point:
– For the Bears, all eyes are on Caleb Williams’ comfort level in the team’s offense. While the rookie quarterback won’t be a finished product by summer’s end, having the entire offense united for three days allows for a glimpse into his progress. Observers will be keen to see if Williams demonstrates better decision-making, particularly in situations like avoiding running out of bounds when no pass is available, and whether his red-zone execution has improved. These are just a few questions the Bears aim to address by the conclusion of minicamp.
