The league sent out a memo to teams Wednesday which outlined the parameters of the programs, which are entirely voluntary for players except for one mandatory minicamp in mid-June.
Starting next Monday, teams are allowed to begin the four-week first phase. That includes two hours a day of virtual meetings, and allows the weight room to be open, with limits on occupancy for safety reasons (10 players in the weight room at a time). There's no on-field work, or in-person work with coaches during that first month.
Starting on May 17, teams can transition to a week of on-field work conducting at installation pace, with no contact allowed. The third phase is the more familiar OTA routine, with 10 days of full-speed (but non-contact) work.
Teams will continue with COVID-19 protocols as they did last year, including testing, social distancing, and mask-wearing, things they're all used to after last year's entirely virtual offseason.
