The news is about Ravens forfeiting OTAs due to CBA violations but in my mind the real story is why the league sees so many early injuries in pre-season games and at the start of the season:
According to several Wednesday afternoon reports, the Ravens have been informed by the league that they must forfeit their final two OTA practices of 2018 do to an undisclosed infraction of CBA rules. Additionally, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and team owner Steve Bisciotti are also facing potential fines. A little more than two years ago the NFL forced the Ravens to forfeit their final week of 2016 OTA practices for violating CBA rules. However, that wasn’t even the first time the Ravens have gotten in trouble with the league regarding offseason practice violations with Harbaugh as head coach. In fact, in 2010 the Ravens were also forced to cancel their final week of OTA practices back due to violations of CBA rules regarding the intensity and tempo of drills conducted earlier that offseason as well as the length of time they required certain players to be at the team facility.
