Free-agent OG Kevin Pamphile (Titans) signed with the Washington Football Team Tuesday, July 28, according to a source. He passed his physical and will report today.

Pittsburgh Steelers RB James Conner is expected to play in 2020, according to a source, despite being a cancer survivor. New England Patriots OT Marcus Cannon chose to opt out as a fellow cancer survivor, spurring questions about Conner’s intentions amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Conner is four years cancer-free and in phenomenal shape, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers DE Joey Bosa is expected to report to the team and avoid a holdout, in the opinion of Chargers general manager Tom Telesco. ‘Nobody’s called me about anything,’ Telesco said Monday, July 27, when asked if Bosa is expected to hold out.

New England Patriots SS Patrick Chung will opt out of the 2020 NFL season due to COVID-19 concerns.

Footballguys View: Chung is an expectant father and did not want to take any chances. The Patriots have quite a few players opting out so far, including three key players like Chung, OT Marcus Cannon and LB Dont’a Hightower.

Buffalo Bills DT Star Lotulelei will voluntarily opt out of the 2020 NFL season, according to a source Tuesday, July 28.

Footballguys View: Lotulelei is a run-stuffer up front for the Bills defense. They’ll move to reserve players like Vernon Butler and Harrison Phillips to see who can fill the void.

Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel (foot) is not on a timeline in his recovery from a fractured bone in his foot, according to general manager John Lynch. ‘Not going to put an exact timeline on it, but it’s fair to say he may miss some games at the start of the year.’

Footballguys View: Samuel could be bound for the PUP list which would force him out the first six weeks of the regular season. Some analysts don’t believe that will happen, but Samuel might be in line to miss a few weeks to one month of action when the regular season opens. Samuel’s absence will create opportunity for 2020 first-round pick Brandon Aiyuk. In current drafts, Samuel is going off the board at WR35 (8.03) in 12-team PPR leagues.
