Urban Meyer receives first NFL discipline before even coaching a game

Urban Meyer's NFL coaching career continues to get off to a very Urban Meyer start.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and their new head coach were both hit with heavy fines by the NFL on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Jaguars were fined $200,000 as well as the forfeiture of two OTA practices in 2022, while Meyer was hit with a personal $100,000 penalty.

The San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys were also reportedly fined smaller amounts for OTA violations.

Mark Long of the Associated Press reports that the Jaguars' fines are for violating non-contact rules during team OTAs, specifically in 11-on-11 drills between wide receivers and defensive backs.
