Report: Patriots lose 2 OTAs for violating NFL offseason rules

Chris Simms explains to Ahmed Fareed why Mac Jones deserves to be No. 20 on his Top 40 QB Countdown, specifically after isolating his skillset as an individual from the struggling Patriots offensive unit.

The New England Patriots have lost two days of organized team activities this spring due to a violation of the NFL’s offseason rules, according to ESPN’s Mike Reiss.

The team canceled Thursday’s OTA, which was going to be the first attended by reporters this spring, unexpectedly Wednesday. A second OTA next week was also taken away.

It’s unclear what rule the Patriots broke specifically.
