Article 23
Preseason Training Camps

Section 5(d)
Reporting

(d)

For purposes of this Section, an “injured player” shall not include a player who fully participates in all Phase Three activities and the Mandatory Veteran Minicamp during the Club’s offseason workout program during the League Year in question. (e) No Rookie or first-year player will be required to report to a Club’s official preseason training camp earlier than seven days prior to the mandatory reporting date for that Club’s veteran players. For the avoidance of doubt, Rookie or first-year players on a Club for which the mandatory reporting date for veteran players is July 29 may be required to report to their Club’s official preseason training camp on or after July 22.
