Today's workout in Washington is just rookies, quarterbacks and players rehabbing injuries. All others are still finishing their quarantine.

We’ll chat with players remotely over the next couple weeks, but we won’t watch until full team, on-field workouts start in August.

Virtual for now. Most important thing is getting everything rolling safely. Will be re-evaluated as we go.

The Bears have spent a lot of time to find ways to create as many competitive situtaions for Nick Foles and Mitchell Trubisky. They want to evaluate not just every throw, but Matt Nagy discribed it as almost every moment they’re out there from leadership to check downs
— James Palmer (@JamesPalmerTV) July 29, 2020
With the open competition between Foles and Trubisky and the lack of time, Matt Nagy said they both could be throwing to the two’s and three’s on top of throwing with the one’s.

Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch now locked up together through 2024. The #49ers gave both six-year deals out of the gate because they wanted to show stability was coming. It’s here to stay now.

#Titans veteran pass-rusher Vic Beasley did not show up for COVID-19 testing again today, and there has been no communication on why or where he is, per sources. The team put Beasley — one of its big FA signings — on the "reserve/did not report” list yesterday.

Pat Chung on CBS This Morning explained why he's opted out. "I have a girlfriend that's pregnant, a baby girl coming soon, my son has a little asthma, my dad is 75 years old. I just felt like this was the best decision for my family to keep everyone safe..."

Dave Gettleman on Nate Solder's decision to opt out:
— Ralph Vacchiano (@RVacchianoSNY) July 29, 2020
"We have great respect for Nate as a person and player. When he called today, I told him it is faith, family and football. He is doing what's best for his family."
— Nate Solder (@soldernate) July 29, 2020
The #Giants knew OL Nate Solder was a possible opt-out, given his son's trying medical battle. They drafted their left tackle of the future in Andrew Thomas, regardless. Sounded like a very difficult decision for Solder, as it’s been for all players.

I know some NFL HCs are talking about quarantining at least one player per position so they're, in theory, guaranteed to have a COVID-negative player at their disposal if need be.

Notice how CBs aren’t cracking the top of the market.. There’s a belief in coaching circles that it’s hard to find a legit “shutdown” CB. Many believe the pass rush impacts the game far more than coverage. That’s why the investment skews heavily toward pass rushers (DE and DT) https://t.co/TP58HP7de5
