We're that much closer to the start of the 2016 NFL season now that OTAs are set to begin on Tuesday for the Kansas City Chiefs.
It will be the first of 10 voluntary OTA practices for them over the next three weeks.
The NFL allows teams to have 10 full-team practices in Phase Three of the offseason program, including a three-day mandatory minicamp after the conclusion of OTAs.
It's all just another sign the 2016 season is right around the corner.
During these OTA practices, there's no contact permitted and the players will still be in shorts, but they can do seven-on-seven, nine-on-seven and 11-on-11 drills.
Coach Andy Reid will speak with the media after practice on Tuesday.
The players have returned to One Arrowhead Drive for Phase One of offseason workouts
