The Broncos will officially commence their preparation for the 2017 season as a team on April 10, when their nine-week voluntary offseason program will begin.
Details of the Broncos' schedule follow:
First Day: April 10
Voluntary Minicamp: April 25-27
Rookie Orientation: May 11-13
OTA Offseason Workouts: May 23-25, May 30-31, June 1, June 5-8
Mandatory Minicamp: June 13-15
The program consists of three phases that progressively allow more activities in the process.
• Phase One: During the first two weeks of the program, teams may conduct only strength and conditioning and physical rehabilitation activities.
• Phase Two: The following three weeks may include on-field workouts, individual player instruction and drills. Teams can also conduct separated team practice with no live contact or team offense vs. team defense drills.
• Phase Three: The final four weeks may include a total of 10 days of organized team practice activities (OTAs) and a mandatory veteran minicamp. Though teams are still not allowed to have live contact, they may conduct 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills.
