With the coronavirus pandemic dominating the headlines, it’s not just people who are being impacted. Sports leagues around the world are feeling the effects, including the NBA, which has suspended all games due to a player, Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz, testing positive for the virus.
Now, the NFL is handling the situation as best they can, with teams taking steps to ensure safety for both its players and staff. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as Albert Breer reported, are pulling their coaches and scouts off the road until further notice. The decision is a wise one, but it remains to be seen how this will change the process for April’s NFL draft (if the league decides to even hold the event then).
Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
