The San Francisco 49ers announced on Thursday that the team is closing its facilities and neighboring Levi's Stadium until further notice. Coaches and staff will be working remotely while team scouts were told to return home.

Garafolo noted on-air that NFL teams could look into the option of holding online interviews with draft prospects, replacing face-to-face visits. While nothing on that front is official yet, it is an idea that player agents have thrown out there. Although, teams wouldn't be able to give players physicals during such a process.
