Report: Seahawks won't lose draft pick for violating injury-reporting policy

Share

The Seahawks reportedly received some good news recently.

Seattle was issued a warning by the NFL for violating the injury-reporting policy but won't be disciplined any further, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

A couple of weeks ago, ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that the league was mulling over taking away Seattle's second-round pick for failing to disclose Richard Sherman's knee injury.

According to Garafolo, the NFL determined the violation was a result of the Seahawks misinterpreting the rules.

Back in September, the NFL took away Seattle's fifth-round pick, fined the team $400,000 and fined Pete Carroll $200,000 for violating work rules that prohibit excessive contact in all offseason workouts.

The Seahawks will also forefit their first week of 2017 OTAs.
