An off-field violation led to the New England Patriots losing two days of organized team activities, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio.
"An observer from the NFL Players Association believed that one of the optional early offseason meetings was a violation, because the 15-minute meeting in question (a special-teams session) was made visible on the internal schedule," Florio reported.
The NFLPA argued listing the meeting on the schedule gave players the idea it was mandatory rather than optional.
ESPN's Mike Reiss reported Wednesday that the Patriots forfeited a pair of OTA days for breaking the NFL's offseason rules.
