The Lions found themselves in hot water after violating player work rules regarding physical contact during organized team activities. As a result, the NFL and NFLPA informed the team of the violation, leading to the forfeit of Monday’s scheduled OTA practice. The team acknowledged the mistake and stated that they take the rules within the NFL’s Offseason Program seriously.
The Collective Bargaining Agreement prohibits live contact during OTA practices, and the Lions were found to be in violation of this rule. While the team is the first to face punishment this offseason, previous instances have seen other teams penalized for overly physical practices. The Lions had scheduled OTA practices for next week but will now only have two remaining sessions to conclude their offseason program.
Coach Dan Campbell’s bold statement at his introductory news conference in 2021, where he spoke about kicking teeth and biting kneecaps, seemed to have unintentionally foreshadowed the team’s current situation. Moving forward, the Lions are committed to conducting practices in accordance with the league’s rules and regulations to avoid any further violations.
