Mike Garafalo is reporting that as of now, the cancelation of pre-draft visits have been team decisions and not the leagues.

Teams are canceling visits, yes. The league has not. Decisions are being made by individual clubs. Only some have begun canceling. https://t.co/3ViDO5ZvIt

The NFL has yet to make an official announcement 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.

According to Jori Epstein of USA Today, 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.
