“Lions Penalized: Offseason Workouts Slashed for Violating NFL Contact Regulations”
Jun
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Incurring the consequences of a rule infraction, the Detroit Lions have incurred a setback in their organized offseason regimen, losing a day of structured workouts due to their breach of regulations regarding on-field contact during a practice session last month.
In response to the penalty, the Lions released a statement on Friday evening, asserting their commitment to upholding the stringent guidelines outlined by the NFL’s Offseason Program. The team emphasized their dedication to adherence moving forward, pledging vigilance in their practice protocols.
This development comes on the heels of the Lions’ completion of a three-day mandatory minicamp earlier this week, underscoring the critical juncture in their preseason preparations. Originally slated for Monday, the final installment of organized team activities, crucial in the lead-up to the forthcoming training camp next month, has been forfeited as a consequence of the violation.
