The spring OTAs period saw three teams violate rules set forth by the league's collective bargaining agreement. The ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷Íøresponded with fines for the trio of clubs and their head coaches Thursday.
The Jacksonville Jaguars, Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers were each fined for offseason workout violations, ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøNetwork's Mike Garafolo reported. Jacksonville drew the largest fine at $200,000, while San Francisco and Dallas were each fined $100,000.
Accordingly, new Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer was docked $100,000 for violations, while Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan each received $50,000 fines.
All three teams will also have to forfeit an undisclosed amount of OTA days in 2022, Garafolo added.
Specifics of the violations are unknown, though they typically center on intensity of practice sessions and resulting contact. Players are in shorts, jerseys and helmets during these sessions, meaning contact is expected to be minimal if not nonexistent.
Two 49ers were injured during OTAs: offensive lineman Justin Skule and defensive back Tarvarius Moore. Each suffered injuries that will likely keep them out for the 2021 season.
