Filed under: Jaguars , Lions , NFL Training Camp The NFL continued its crackdown on overly intense offseason workouts, announcing Thursday that the Jaguars and Lions would lose practice sessions because of rules violations. Jacksonville and Detroit are the third and fourth teams to be stripped of offseason team activity (OTA) sessions. Previously, Baltimore and Oakland forfeited practice days. The league released a statement Thursday morning regarding Jacksonville’s punishment: “The NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association have resolved a complaint by the Players Association against the Jacksonville Jaguars concerning violations of the Collective Bargaining Agreement’s offseason workout rules,” the statement said. “It was determined that the Jaguars violated the rules concerning the intensity and tempo of drills conducted on the club’s organized team activity days. “As a result, the Jaguars will forfeit a week of their offseason program (June 21-25, 2010). Jaguars players are not permitted to be at the facility on those days, but will be paid for the sessions. The club cannot reschedule the cancelled days.”
