Eagles announce closing of training facility and stadium; Employees instructed to work from home

The Philadelphia Eagles have joined the growing list of professional sports franchises taking precautionary measures in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

The Eagles just announced the closing of The NovaCare Complex (training facility) and Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday through the weekend, as the organizations look to avoid any personnel getting infected.

The NFL has yet to release an official statement on the matter, but teams around the league have started to announce that they are pulling staff and personnel off the road and pro day circuit.

Jori Epstein of USA Today reported earlier today, that the Eagles were among a few teams to send scouting personnel home on Thursday, moments before they were scheduled to work out some top prospects from around the country.

Adam Schefter just reported that the NFL, as of now, expects to start the new league year and free agency on March 18.
