Broncos 2020 training camp schedule is definitely unique

Good morning, Broncos Country!

Bring on the Denver Broncos season ... sort of.

The NFL and NFL Players’ Association agreed to terms on a 2020 season on Friday. On Saturday, players received what the schedule will look like. We knew, much like all of 2020 at this point, it would be unique. Well, it surely is (thank you, and don’t call me Shirley).

Per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, who tweeted the schedule, here’s how it will look.

The Acclimation Period — Aug. 3-11

• 60 minutes weight room and 60 minutes of on-field conditioning.
• Total strength and conditioning is capped at 120 minutes.
• Just strength and conditioning coaches.
• On-field strength and conditioning is subject to Phase 1 Rules. That means only quarterbacks, receivers, kickers, punters and long snappers are permitted to use footballs.
• Walk-throughs are permitted up to 60 minutes of the first four days and up to 75 minutes on each of the final four days.
• 8th: Day off.

Gradual Ramp Up Period — Aug. 12-16

• Subject to maximum 3.5 hours on-field daily time limits.
• First practice starts at 90 minutes with a maximum of 15-minute daily increases (up to max of 120 minutes).
• Remainder of the 3.5 hours of on-field time applied to walk-throughs.
• 12-13th: Phase 2 activities in helmets and approved shirts.
• 14-16th: Non-padded practice days (no live contact) in helmets, spiders and shells is permitted.
• 15th: Day off.
• Rookies have two additional days in Phase 2, two additional days in non-padded practices and one additional day off.

Contact Integration Period — Aug. 17 through Sept. 6

• Duration starts at 90 minutes with 15-minute daily increases.
• No increase or decrease in duration following an off-day.
• Daily time limits dictated by the CBA.
• Maximum of 14 padded practices during the Contact Integration Period.

Off Days

• Following the first mandatory day off on Aug. 8, all players must receive one day off every seven days.
• Clubs that play on Monday Night of Week 1 (the Broncos), must receive seven total days off.
• Clubs that play on Sunday and Thursday of Week 1 must receive six total days off.

The regular season practice schedule begins on Sept. 7.

So there you have it. The 2020 training camp schedule for the Broncos.

We knew it would be unique, and it totally is.
