The NFL calendar for the coming months is slowly coming into view. The league revealed the dates for when the offseason workouts, OTAs and mandatory minicamps for all 32 teams are scheduled.
The Lions kick off the offseason on April 17th, a little over a week before the 2023 NFL draft. Those are voluntary workouts.
OTAs come a few weeks later in three sets of three days apiece, beginning on May 23rd and ending on June 15th. Like the workouts, those are deemed voluntary for all players.
A mandatory minicamp will take place at the Lions training facility in Allen Park from June 6-8. That minicamp ha required attendance and is closed to the public.

The dates for all 32 teams are established by the league, not the individual teams.
