Report: Patriots docked two OTA practices after violating NFL rules

The New England Patriots made a last minute change of plans on Wednesday as the team cancelled Thursday’s OTA practice. While Bill Belichick has often cancelled practices in years past, he reportedly had no other choice this go around.

According to ESPN’s Mike Reiss, the Patriots are losing two days of organized team activities due to a violation of offseason rules. New England’s violation is not known at this time.

The Patriots were originally scheduled to hold the standard 13 practices this spring – 10 days of OTAs and three days of mandatory minicamp.
