All atwitter will be posted at the beginning of every day (at midnight in Washington, DC). The goal is to give readers a handy spot to check the Redskins beat writers & bloggers, and national sports journalists to keep up on the latest news about the Redskins, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

The NFL has told all staff except for operationally critical staff to work from home until further notice beginning tomorrow — “out of an abundance of caution and with the health and safety of our communities as our foremost priority."

See @Redskins - I can be very nice!
The NFL is considering contingencies regarding the NFL draft and other upcoming events on its schedule (the annual league meeting, possibly even free agency), a source said. League leaders are "discussing all matters. Stay tuned," the source said.

I’ve been taking calls from concerned scouts around the NFL for the last 24 hours. Some of these guys (or close family members) have dealt with serious health issues in the past and are nervous about the travel associated with pro days. We have 1-4 yrs of game tape, 330+ (cont)

On top of that #Redskins statement, @RapSheet, @TomPelissero and I are getting word that a whole lot of pre-draft workouts are being canceled today, even for players expected to be highly drafted.
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 12, 2020
Hearing from execs from NFL teams who are shocked team headquarters are still open and not all work from home. Many think it only makes sense to bump league year and all events back a few weeks. "It's 2020. We have the technology. What the hell are we doing here?"
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) March 12, 2020
I for one am weirded out that the Redskins seem to be making a proactive, smart decision on travel.

From XFL Commissioner Oliver Luck to me and @TomPelissero: "Currently, the XFL will not be playing its regular season games. All players will be paid their base pay & benefits for '20 regular season. All XFL ticket holders will be issued refunds or credit towards future games."
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 12, 2020
The XFL has advised players they can sign immediately with teams in the NFL or any other league once their exit physicals are complete tomorrow, per sources. So for the stars — Josh Johnson, P.J. Walker, Jordan Ta’amu, et al. — a chance to land quickly.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 13, 2020
Unfortunate about the XFL. Obviously nothing they could prepare for but I hope they come back strong in 2021. Really was a fun set of games with some innovative rules.

The NFL says it has no plans to move the start of the league year. Still on for next Wednesday, March 18.

Kansas and Duke bow out of the NCAA Tournament, and now the ball's clearly in the NCAA's court. Remember, they don't make much money off football, because they don't control the postseason. March Madness is really it for them.

It would be very wise for premium cable (HBO, Showtime), streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon) & regular networks to launch new or upcoming shows/movies should the country be forced to quarantine like Italy is currently doing. Give us something to watch for 2 weeks.

If you’re wondering whether it’s an overreaction to cancel large gatherings and public events (and I love basketball), here’s a useful primer as to why these measures can slow the spread of the virus and save lives. We have to look out for each other. https://t.co/Ld7Uc8sPTQ
