Jon Jansen, who is the Lions' union representative, said that he didn't file a complaint and doesn't think a teammate would have done so without talking to him first.The NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association have determined that the Detroit Lions violated the Collective Bargaining Agreement’s off-season workout rules pertaining to the intensity and tempo of drills conducted on one of the Club’s organized team activity days ("OTA days").
As a result, the Lions will forfeit two days of their off-season program (June 21stand 22nd), which had previously been designated as OTA days. Lions’ 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 OTA days.
