Day 1 is for the physical and meetings. Day 2 and 3 the player may participate, but only in helmet and shells or a padded shirt. Day 4 and for the rest of camp is in full pads.”Whether the league wants to punish the Seahawks remains to be seen, but his involvement clearly appears to be a violation. Does the NFLPA want to make the game suck so people stop watching? Having rules about when and how a player practices is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
