The\u00a02026 NFL season\u00a0begins in less than three months, but first, teams are continuing with their\u00a0offseason workout programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, 17 NFL teams kick into high gear with their three-day minicamps, and then 12 teams will practice the week of June 15. Two teams — the\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0and\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers\u00a0— held their mandatory minicamps last week. The\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0canceled their minicamp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, after a monthlong break, all 32 training camps will begin in late July.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the three weeks of minicamps, ESPN’s NFL reporters will be on the ground to provide updated information on position battles, notable appearances from the rookies and new players, compelling quotes from coaches and players, and updates on injuries and holdout situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will have updates every day of camp to keep you informed on all the latest. Here’s what you need to know from across the league, including\u00a0depth charts for all 32 teams:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 2: What our NFL Nation reporters saw
New York Giants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to remember when watching the Giants this spring that, in a way, this is similar to\u00a0Jaxson Dart’s rookie season. The second-year quarterback is still in the process of learning a new offense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At times, it looks that way. There are ups and downs as a result. After Dart hit rookie WR\u00a0Malachi Fields\u00a0for a deep touchdown early, the Giants’ offense struggled most of the first minicamp practice on Monday. Dart later threw an interception on a deep pass intended for an open\u00a0Darnell Mooney\u00a0that hung in the air too long, and then the offense stalled in red zone and two-minute drills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Giants aren’t concerned, especially considering star wide receiver\u00a0Malik Nabers\u00a0and running back\u00a0Cam Skattebo\u00a0were among the players missing in team drills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I think [Dart’s] adjusting really well,” coach John Harbaugh said. “He looks good. I love his competitiveness. He wants to be perfect every play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a work in progress all the time. It’s still fairly early. But the clock is ticking. In [a] team meeting, we started the team meeting off with ‘September’ by Earth, Wind & Fire. September is right around the corner. So that’s what we’re preparing for.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By then the Giants hope Nabers, fellow wide receiver Darius Slayton<\/a> and Skattebo are ready. Skattebo was a limited participant in practice Monday at minicamp for the first time since his gruesome ankle injury less than eight months ago. — Jordan Raanan (June 8)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week 1: Dolphins, Steelers end minicamps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Miami Dolphins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the first time in an open practice this spring, the Dolphins ran red zone drills on the final day of mandatory minicamp Thursday. The results were a mixed bag, but quarterback\u00a0Malik Willis\u00a0did throw a pair of touchdown passes to\u00a0Theo Wease Jr\u00a0and\u00a0Malik Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarterbacks don’t typically scramble during team drills, but coach Jeff Hafley said Willis’ running ability is a dynamic that will stress opposing defenses, and he wants the quarterback to incorporate that element at practice. Willis’ legs will likely be a weapon in the red zone come the regular season, but he hasn’t run much during spring practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick hits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Defensive tackle\u00a0Zach Sieler\u00a0continued to work on the side after suffering an undisclosed but “minor” injury earlier this week. Wide receiver\u00a0Caleb Douglas\u00a0also did not practice after he was injured during Wednesday’s session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Hafley said\u00a0Jamaree Salyer’s injury won’t keep him sidelined long-term, but the guard did not practice Thursday and could possibly miss the team’s final week of OTAs next week, as well.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Running back\u00a0De’Von Achane\u00a0still did not participate in team drills as he rehabs from offseason shoulder surgery, but did partake in walk-throughs at the beginning of Thursday’s practice.\u00a0— Marcel Louis-Jacques (June 4)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Pittsburgh Steelers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Veteran pass rusher\u00a0Alex Highsmith\u00a0wasn’t at the second day of the Steelers’ mandatory minicamp. It appears to be unrelated to fellow outside linebacker\u00a0Nick Herbig\u00a0agreeing to\u00a0a $100 million, four-year extension\u00a0the day before. Steelers spokesperson Burt Lauten said that Highsmith, who has two years left on an extension signed in 2023, missed practice because he was dealing with an illness. Highsmith and Herbig are two of the Steelers’ three highly compensated pass rushers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Factoring in\u00a0T.J. Watt’s contract, the Steelers now have the second-highest-paid group of edge rushers by average annual value at $84 million AAV, behind only the\u00a0Houston Texans\u00a0($96 million AAV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “Oh, we’re deep,” Watt said Wednesday. “Obviously not just our room but the defensive front as a whole is really deep, and we really care about each other, too. That’s the cool thing about this group is we’re constantly trying to help each other out. We don’t care who makes the plays. We just want to be as successful as we possibly can. We want to work together and just continue to grow, and we’re really happy with how things have started this summer.” — Brooke Pryor (June 3)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
