Because team facilities are closed, Eagles off-season activities, expected to last nine weeks, will happen outside the Novacare Complex until further notice.
The first three weeks will be a “virtual period.” Classroom learning will occur online.
Pro Football Talk reported the Eagles are one of the teams holding virtual workouts. Squads are allowed to send workout equipment to players, up to $1,500 total. As in past years, participation is voluntary.

According to the NFL, the draft reached a record 55 million-plus viewers over the three-day telecast.
