24 NFL teams open mandatory minicamp on Tuesday

The NFL's mandatory minicamps kick off this week, with 24 teams participating from June 10. These camps are crucial as they are mandatory, unlike earlier voluntary workouts, and players face fines for missing them. The New England Patriots and the Chicago Bears have already held their sessions, while others like the Ravens and Chiefs are set for next week. Minicamps offer a chance to see players in action and to preview upcoming team strategies, although no major conclusions should be drawn. Some players may attend to avoid fines but refrain from participating on-field, using this tactic to negotiate contracts. Highlights and position battles will generate buzz, but the priority is to avoid injuries.
