Coronavirus will change the NFL offseason workout schedule. Here’s what will be different.

The NFL and NFLPA released a joint statement on Monday indicating changes in the offseason workout schedule because of the coronavirus.

Offseason training activities will not start on April 20, as was originally the case. The new dates are still to be determined.

“The parties will periodically meet and reassess the public health situation to determine an appropriate start date for any offseason team activities and other related considerations as this situation develops,” the statement reads.

In addition, there will be no free-agent visits as there have been in the past. Team personnel, including members of the club medical staff, may not travel to any location to meet with or conduct a medical examination of a free agent player.
