2024 NFL OTA updates: Bryce Young impressing Panthers teammates; 49ers star not present amid contract talks

The 2024 NFL offseason continues to roll along, as 31 teams have now begun OTAs. This is the first time we will see rookies practice with veterans, and maybe the last time we will get to see players like Tua Tagovailoa and Trevor Lawrence throw the pigskin around before they put pen to paper on what they hope will be lucrative, long-term extensions. That may also include Packers quarterback Jordan Love, who was present at the start of Green Bay’s OTA sessions. On top of waiting for possible extensions to come down, OTAs are a fascinating window to see some familiar faces in new uniforms after free agency, including new Ravens running back Derrick Henry. 

Football is back, so let’s go around the league and break down some notable moments, updates and highlights from OTAs. 

Bijan Robinson may be available for Falcons minicamp

As Atlanta goes through the initial phases of OTAs, they are currently without star running back Bijan Robinson, who is dealing with an ankle injury. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris told reporters on Tuesday, however, that he’s hopeful the second-year back will be available for mandatory minicamp.

“I’m hoping — really, really positive about it as well, too — veteran minicamp, we’ll get a chance to see something, some movements, things of that nature,” Morris said, via Pro Football Talk. “But he’s progressing well. He’s been out there. He’s in great spirits.

“He’s definitely learning the game above the neck. He’s the first person to want to talk about it, so you know that’s coming. But you can’t help but smile when you see Bijan. That’s just who he is, it’s what he is and I’ve got a lot of confidence that he’ll be ready to go for our veteran minicamp. That’ll get him a nice little break in between there, and when we get to training camp, I’d love to see him rolling.”
