Phase II is the following three weeks, and allows teams to do on-field workouts. Contact and any team periods are not permitted.

Then OTAs conclude with Phase III, which is four weeks long. No contact can take place, but teams can do competitive team periods.

During GM Chris Ballard's pre-draft press conference, he said that there was "a lot of energy" in the building on Monday with players returning and the team had "great attendance."

Two players who were not present, however, were Kenny Moore and Anthony Richardson, both of whom requested trades.
