Patriots reduce offseason workouts to six OTAs, move minicamp up a week

The New England Patriots have shortened their offseason workout program, reducing organized team activities from nine to six. Head coach Mike Vrabel announced the change on June 3, 2026, and confirmed that the mandatory minicamp will take place from June 9-11, one week earlier than previously scheduled. The decision follows a pattern of alterations in the team's offseason plans, as they had cut minicamp short the previous year as well. Amid ongoing contract negotiations, cornerback Christian Gonzalez has missed recent voluntary workouts, which could lead to fines if he does not report to minicamp on time.
