Following the OTA’s, the Jaguars will have a mandatory three-day minicamp. That minicamp is scheduled for June 14-16.
Expect seven-on-seven drills, nine-on-seven drills, and 11-on-11 drills during this final phase, but don’t expect live contact.
The minicamp is where the Jaguars will begin to see everyone come back to Jacksonville. Plenty of players across the NFL opt to train alone but the mandatory minicamp is exactly as it sounds: mandatory. Teams can penalize players for not making the minicamp.
Rookie Programs
At some point, the Jacksonville Jaguars are allowed to hold a seven-week rookie programs during the offseason program. Monday through Friday, this program will get rookies up to speed with the team. This portion is currently unscheduled. The Jaguars are also allowed to hold a weekend rookie minicamp for the team’s rookies. This achieved notoriety for the Jags a couple of seasons ago when 2015 first-round pick Dante Fowler Jr. tore his ACL during the minicamp and was forced to miss the season.
