Ravens reportedly had some illegal padded practice at rookie camp
Ravens reportedly had some illegal padded practice at rookie camp
The current collective-bargaining agreement was agreed upon in 2011, and it significantly cut back the amount of padded practices a team could have. It completely eliminated padded practices from the offseason work.
The Baltimore Ravens, with a head coach and general manager who were hired long before 2011, presumably had enough time to learn those rules. Yet, they reportedly still participated in at least some illegal practice time during the rookie minicamp.
The Ravens had "a five-minute period on May 6 when rookies and first-year players suited up in pads during a non-contact punt protection drill,"according to ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley. That's against the rules and the NFL will investigate. According to Hensley's story, the Ravens thought rookie minicamps had different rules than regular OTA practices (so .... they've been violating the CBA for five years?) and pulled the players off the field after Ravens union rep Ben Watson offered some clarification.
