Chiefs begin final week of OTAs Tuesday

Phase three of the NFL offseason for the Kansas City Chiefs resumes Tuesday with day seven of organized team activities, or more commonly known as OTAs. We discussed what takes place during the three weeks of OTAs here.

The Chiefs held their second open OTA media session last Thursday, May 30. After watching the full workout (my takeaways here), media members had the opportunity to speak with defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and some of the team’s assistants.

The final open OTAs practice and media session is this Thursday, June 6. Head coach Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes and several other Chiefs are expected to be available after practice.

Thursday’s session leads into mandatory minicamp, set to take place next week from June 11 to June 13. There is scheduled media availability for all three days of mandatory minicamp.

The practice schedule

• Week 1: May 21 - May 23
• Week 2: May 28 - May 30
• Week 3: June 4 - June 7

Mandatory Minicamp (10 hours a day) takes place after OTAs from June 11 - June 13.
