Lions forfeit last OTA session after rules break
ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions have lost one day of organized offseason workouts after breaking rules relating to on-field contact during a practice the week of May 27.
“We take very seriously the rules set forth within the NFL’s Offseason Program and have worked to conduct our practices accordingly,” the Lions said in a statement Friday night. “We will continue to be vigilant with our practices moving forward.”

The Lions had a three-day mandatory minicamp earlier this week.
