Houston Texans' 2024 NFL offseason workout schedule officially revealed

The Houston Texans had a very successful start to their new era, which has them back to the winning ways everyone in Houston loves. They started the offseason last year as underdogs since they only won three games the year before and finished it as winners of a playoff game. Not many teams can say that.

Now, they are going into this offseason with a much clearer picture of how easy they are to compete for a Super Bowl. They had as good of a free agency as any team and are looking ahead to the 2024 NFL Draft. After that, it's back to work, where the offseason workouts will begin.

On Friday, the NFL released those dates to the public. They are as follows:

• First Day: April 15 
• OTA Offseason Workouts: May 20-21, May 23, May 29-31, June 3-4, June 6
• Mandatory Minicamp: June 11-13

There are three phases of the voluntary workout program. Here are the descriptions of each phase per the NFL’s press release:

Phase One:

Phase One consists of the first two weeks of the program with activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation only.

Phase Two:

Phase Two consists of the next three weeks of the program. On-field workouts may include individual or group instruction and drills, as well as “perfect play drills,” and drills and plays with offensive players lining up across from offensive players and defensive players lining up across from defensive players, conducted at a walk-through pace. No live contact or team offense vs. team defense drills are permitted.

Phase Three:

Phase Three consists of the next four weeks of the program. Teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activity, or “OTAs”. No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.

This will be perfect for the players who are somewhat new by way of free agency, the draft, and even undrafted guys to get in shape and acclimated to everything. We saw how head coach DeMeco Ryans ran his workouts and offseason last year, and I expect it to be exactly the same. I mean, hey, if it isn't broken, don't fix it. He was clearly doing something right.
