Some NFL teams are adjusting their pre-draft travel plans due to increasing worry about the coronavirus, sources told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.

Those clubs include the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are "limiting commercial flights for coaches and scouts until further notice," Pelissero reports.

Along with the Steelers, coaches from the Philadelphia Eagles reportedly won't travel the pro-day circuit, according to Charles Robinson and Eric Edholm of Yahoo Sports.

Most of the bigger colleges have their pro days scheduled in the following days and weeks. Clemson and Oregon will host events on Thursday, March 11, while Michigan's pro day is scheduled two days later.

Alabama's and LSU's pro days are set to take place March 24 and April 3, respectively.

The Steelers and New Orleans Saints were the only teams that didn't attend Oklahoma's pro day Wednesday morning, according to NFL Network's James Palmer.
