What happened: Quarterback Bo Nix is expected to participate when minicamp arrives. Head coach Sean Payton noted that Nix has been throwing prior to practice and is tracking in the right direction.

Why it matters: Nix's advancement to throwing activities is a positive indicator ahead of the 2026 season. Although he is currently attending OTAs without practicing, his anticipated return for minicamp keeps his recovery and the team's offseason schedule on track.

What to watch: Monitor Nix's participation level and practice workload once mandatory minicamp begins.
