When NFL teams initially released their offseason schedules earlier this year, the Detroit Lions included the usual elements expected in a full offseason program—Phases 1, 2, and 3 of OTAs, plus a mandatory minicamp.

Following the draft and with rookie minicamps scheduled for draft picks, undrafted players, and invitees, the league provided an updated offseason calendar for all 32 teams on Wednesday.

Detroit’s rookie minicamp is set for May 9-11, followed by OTA sessions from May 28-30 and June 3-5 to complete Phases 2 and 3.

What’s noticeably missing from the updated Lions offseason plan is the mandatory minicamp originally scheduled for June 10-12.

Jeremy Reisman of Pride of Detroit confirmed the team has canceled the mandatory minicamp. Although no reason was given, the rationale appears fairly clear.

Circumstances around the Lions’ offseason have changed significantly since the original schedule was revealed.

Detroit was recently selected to play in the Hall of Fame Game on July 31 in Canton, Ohio, against the Los Angeles Chargers. That adds a fourth preseason game and pushes training camp up to around July 17—about a week earlier than usual.

As Reisman highlighted, Detroit had already planned to use only two of the three permitted OTA weeks before canceling the minicamp. Still, under head coach Dan Campbell, player turnout for voluntary work has consistently been high.

Despite Campbell’s intense style, he’s highly mindful of players’ physical demands. That player-first mindset, shaped by his own playing days, has earned him widespread respect during camp and the regular season.

While the NFL’s statement did include that “dates are subject to change at the discretion of individual clubs,” it’s unlikely the Lions will reverse course and reinstate the mandatory minicamp.
