Las Vegas Raiders begin OTAs on Monday: What to expect image

The Las Vegas Raiders are one of 21 total NFL teams that will begin their organized team activities on Monday, which is just the latest step in the team's preparation for the 2024 season.

Organized team activities, or OTAs, are the beginning of Phase Three of the offseason program and lasts four weeks. During that time, teams are permitted to hold 10 days of activities, which can include 7-on-7, 9-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, which more closely mirrors actual practice.

What teams cannot do, however, is have live contact, so we won't be seeing players hitting one another.

Also included in organized team activities and Phase Three of the offseason program is mandatory minicamp, which the Raiders will hold from June 11-13. Following mandatory minicamp, the Raiders will have some time off before returning for training camp, which is slated to begin sometime in late July.

Bringing up the rear is the Cincinnati Bengals, who begin on May 28.
