The Facts:
The Raiders canceled the final week of their off-season training program Friday after complaints from the NFL players' union about the intensity of the practices. In a brief statement, HC Lane Kiffin said the players' union believes the Raiders' off-season program violated league rules on practice standards.

"The union has complained about the high level of intensity, player aggressiveness and fast pace of our practices and, as a result, has taken away the final week of our offseason program," said Kiffin. The Raiders won't hold next week's scheduled off-season activities, which were expected to be mostly weightlifting sessions. The team just wrapped up a voluntary mini-camp on Wednesday under Kiffin, who has just one season of NFL training camp experience as an assistant in Jacksonville in 2000.
