After several leagues have already suspended their seasons on Thursday, the Eagles are taking action as well.
In addition to closing their facilities starting on Friday, the Eagles have also suspended all travel for their scouts, a league source told NBC Sports Philadelphia.
The NovaCare Complex and Lincoln Financial Field will be closed beginning tomorrow and all Eagles employees have been instructed to work from home, according to a release from the team.
This obviously means that the Eagles will not be able to host in-person visits with draft prospects or free agents at the facility for now.
The Eagles had already pulled all coaches from the pre-draft pro day circuit. As of Wednesday, their plan was to have scouts continue to travel to pro days but that has changed.
