The Jacksonville Jaguars became the third team to be punished for violating the league's offseason rules, following the Baltimore Ravens and the Oakland Raiders.

The NFL management council and the NFL Players Association reached a joint ruling following a complaint about the Jaguars' offseason practices.

As a consequence, the Jaguars' organized team activities have been halted as of today.

Here's the text of the announcement:

"The NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association have resolved a complaint by the Players Association against the Jacksonville Jaguars concerning violations of the Collective Bargaining Agreement's offseason workout rules. It was determined that the Jaguars violated the rules concerning the intensity and tempo of drills conducted on the club's organized team activity days.

"As a result, the Jaguars will forfeit a week of their offseason program (June 21-25, 2010). Jaguars players are not permitted to be at the facility on those days, but will be paid for the sessions. The club cannot reschedule the canceled days."
