Washington places WR Curtis Samuel on the Active/PUP list; Cornelius Lucas on the Reserve COVID-19 list

Curtis Samuel was a big free agent signing this year, and he is expected to pair with 3rd-year WR Terry McLaurin to form a great starting duo for free agent QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. Washington opened up training camp today which was a glorified orientation day with conditioning tests. Curtis Samuel has been placed on the Active/PUP list to start out camp. Ron Rivera was asked about his status on Grant and Danny and he said he was fine.
