Public Joint Practices

The coolest part of the upcoming summer schedule is that both joint practices will be open for the public. It's not too uncommon to have these events open to the fans, but these will be two key dates to attend if possible.

These two days will be the first time the team will go up against another defense/offense in a practice setting, followed by a preseason matchup two days after each joint practice.

"It’ll be fun to go against a different scheme," Johnson explained. "That thought process, the problems that arise that way, but also for our players being able to compete against a different opponent. The controlled setting of it is really important. I'm excited for both of those opportunities."

Tickets to attend training camp practices are first-come, first-served with limited attendance allowed due to safety. Make sure you're on top of getting a spot secured. Tickets will officially be available on July 9th at 10:00 AM and of course will be free.
