The Philadelphia Eagles became the first team to close down training facilities on Thursday afternoon due to the coronavirus. Adam Schefter of ESPN broke the news.

Eagles chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie announced the closures in a statement, instructing his staff to work from home:

The Eagles were the first ones through the door, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers following suit shortly thereafter.

It seems like just a matter of time before more teams close their facilities. In fact, the NFL canceled its annual league meeting in Palm Beach, Florida (via NFL.com):

The NFL is currently continuing with its schedule to open the new league year Wednesday, but made one big cancelation.

The NFL announced Thursday that the Annual League Meeting in Palm Beach, Florida, has been canceled due to growing concerns surrounding the new coronavirus known as COVID-19.

Rule changes and other football matters normally discussed at the spring meeting, which was scheduled for March 29 through April 1, will now be discussed and voted upon at the May meeting, with NFL coaches and general managers expected to attend.

League officials insisted the new league year will still open on Wednesday, though that could change in the near future.

Although the NFL is not in season, the league has already been affected in multiple capacities. Many teams have suspended pro day travel, with the University of Alabama moving its own pro day back multiple weeks in light of recent happenings.

For now, all systems are a go. But Commissioner Roger Goodell is sure to have his hands full in the coming days if things do not improve.
