Report: NFL warns Tom Coughlin about comments on players not attending offseason workouts

The NFL has sent Jaguars executive vice president of football operations Tom Coughlin a warning letter for his comments on players not attending voluntary offseason workouts, reports ESPN's Dan Graziano.

According to Graziano, the NFL Players' Association had asked the league to contact the organization and reinforce the rule about pressuring players. The letter warned the team and Coughlin that any future comments could lead to discipline such as a fine or forfeiture of OTA practice days.

Last week, Coughlin criticized two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey and linebacker Telvin Smith for their absence from voluntary workouts.
