Earlier this week the Ravens were penalized one week of OTAs for an apparent violation of OTA rules. It's unclear exactly what the rules were but they can rest easy knowing they're not the only ones doing it.
According to David White of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Raiders have also lost two days of OTAs.
The NFL and NFLPA announced the development in a joint press release (Hey, that's the second time this week they've agreed on something).
This is the second time since 2007 that the Raiders have been busted for violating OTA rules. Last time was for too much contact -- the sessions are touted as "non-contact".
For a team to get busted like this, a player has to bring up the dispute with the union so it could cause for some uneasiness in the locker room.

Dream on Joel.... It won't disrupt anything. Will this disrupt the Ravens too? No!
It means things are getting hot with passion for football and physicality. A news reporter or onlooker could’ve reported it.
