With organizations from sports leagues across the world unsure of how to properly protect the public safety and health amid the coronavirus, the Philadelphia Eagles have taken steps to protect their personnel as well.

Jeremy Fowler and Tim McManus of ESPN.com are reporting that the Eagles have pulled coaches and essential personnel off the Pro Day circuit amid concerns over the COVID-19 or Coronavirus.

Eagles are pulling coaches off the pro day circuit in part due to coronavirus concerns, per @Tim_McManus and me, while at least one AFC team is considering limiting free agency visits and monitoring player access (@CharlesRobinson and @Eric_Edholm 1st)

As of now, Eagles scouts will continue to hit the road and access draft prospects.

Tom Pelissero of NFL.com is reporting that teams around the NFL are altering their pre-draft travel plans as a precaution to the rising concerns about the virus known as COVID-19.

The Steelers are limited the way their coaches and scouts travel across the country until further notice, while the Eagles reportedly pulled all of its coaches off the road Tuesday, citing concerns over a possible quarantine after the Oklahoma Pro Day.

Eagles coaches are not on road for pro days, but my understanding is it's not based entirely on concerns about COVID-19. It's a combination of factors, including a new coaching staff preparing for free agency and working on schemes.

The scouts are still traveling to pro days.
