As the reports of all the Giants free agent deals made headlines over the last few days, they came with two caveats in the fine print. One, that they would not be official until the start of the league year. Two, they were all pending a physical.

The NFL and NFLPA have banned players from traveling to team facilities and also banned team medical staff from traveling to visit players in response to the spread of coronavirus.
