Lions Lose Final OTA Due to Impermissible On-Field Contact – ESPN
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions have lost one day of organized offseason workouts after breaking rules relating to on-field contact during a practice the week of May 27.
“We take very seriously the rules set forth within the NFL’s Offseason Program and have worked to conduct our practices accordingly,” the Lions said in a statement Friday night. “We will continue to be vigilant with our practices moving forward.”
Detroit had organized team activities planned Monday, the final session before training camp next month, but it has been forfeited. The Lions had a three-day mandatory minicamp earlier this week.
This incident serves as a reminder to all NFL teams about the importance of following the league’s guidelines during offseason activities. Stay tuned for more updates on how the Lions will adjust their practices to avoid future penalties.
