League holding conference call with teams this afternoon

imYr8YqDFCZb
Mike Florio and Chris Simms discuss coronavrius' effect on pro days and whether or not NFL teams will be able to observe them at all approaching the 2020 draft.

With teams discussing individual options in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, the NFL is about to offer some guidance.

According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the league office will brief teams in a conference call later today “for guidance on how to proceed.”

It’s the right step, if a little late, as the league is scheduled to begin free agency next week, and teams are busy preparing for the draft in six weeks.

But with travel complicated, many players won’t be eager to go on visits, and teams are smartly beginning to pull employees off the road from pro day schedules.
