New York Giants begin OTAs: Workout dates, what to expect

The New York Giants and 20 other teams across the NFL are set to begin organized team activities (OTA) on Monday at their facility.

This is the first time the entire team will be together for these offseason workouts following the NFL Draft and even though participation is voluntary, we should expect the majority of players to show up.

As OTAs begin for the Giants in 2024, here’s a quick look at what to expect:

New York Giants OTAs: Workout dates, what to expect

This is the first time the team can practice on the field together with helmets. Live contact is prohibited, but this is the first time the Giants can run 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 team drills.

OTAs begin Phase 3 of the offseason workout program, which lasts four weeks. Teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team activities. According to the NFL media policy, “clubs must open to the local media at least one of every three Organized Team Activity (OTA) days.”

OTAs will give us a glimpse of what the depth chart looks like as well as the progress of injured players and the incoming rookies.

For the Giants, this is going to be the time the offense can get deeper into Brian Daboll’s scheme while the defense gets the installs from new defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.

Following OTAs, the Giants will hold mandatory minicamp for three days June 11-13 before breaking for summer.
