This also could just be the beginning if the team doesn't start adhering to the guidelines more closely as more fines or even the loss of a draft pick could be in the team's future, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Packers also were made aware that future violations could result in escalated discipline – possible change of draft position or loss of draft choices. https://t.co/R1J9LN5iN2
