It is believed that the violation came to light via a viral social media video that showed 49ers rookie cornerback Deommodore Lenior using press coverage, which is not allowed during minicamp, per NFL rules.
There has been no word yet on the rules violations that occurred during OTAs.
Shanahan ended the 49ers' offseason program early following injuries to Justin Skule, Jeff Wilson Jr. and Tarvarius Moore.
