Ravens fans who enjoy reading the tea leaves from off-season workouts lost their last chance to do so.

The NFL has canceled the final of the Ravens’ scheduled off-season workouts for rules violations. Special teams players were supposed to work out June 15-16.

But the league and NFL Players Association determined the Ravens violated rules “concerning the intensity and tempo of drills conducted” and the “length of time spent by players at the club’s facility” during the workouts.

The punishment was based on an unknown source’s complaint to the NFL Players’ Association, a fact that is both interesting and potentially worrying. (Off-season turmoil? Team unity threatened by a rogue individual? We know where this can lead.)

It seems the Ravens violated a portion of the collective-bargaining agreement between the league and its players. While not as severe, the situation brings to mind a controversy from last season in Cleveland over the Browns’ practice methods that also drew the union’s attention.

The Ravens will conclude scheduled off-season workouts this week and will reconvene next at the end of July for training camp.
