The NFL has imposed a penalty on the Philadelphia Eagles for apparently starting workouts too early this off-season. As a result, the Eagles will not be allowed to workout the week of May 16 to 23.
A league release said, "NFL executive vice president Harold Henderson and players association executive director Gene Upshaw have determined that the Eagles violated rules pertaining to the scheduling of on-field activities."
"We take a lot of pride in the doing things the right way at the Philadelphia Eagles," coach Andy Reid said, in a statement that was part of the NFL-NFLPA announcement. "We didn't intentionally break any rules and we will get this matter resolved right away."
