On Wednesday, the NFL announced updated offseason schedules for each team, including the new announcement of rookie minicamps across the league. For the Detroit Lions, their seven draft picks, and 11 undrafted rookie signings, rookie minicamp will begin on Friday, May 9, and run through May 11.
This will be the media’s first opportunity to watch the Lions rookies take the field, and we’ll likely have opportunities to talk to the players after practice as well.
But that’s not the only notable development in the Lions’ schedule. Earlier in April, the NFL announced the dates of OTAs and mandatory minicamp.
