Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson has ended his holdout and reported to training camp with the team.
The star wideout joined his Eagles-teammates on Monday, although he did not take part in practice during the morning.
The two-time Pro Bowler, who is entering the final season of his four-year rookie contract, had been refusing to practice as he is chasing an improved deal.
Jackson was Philadelphia's leading receiver last season, catching 47 passes for 1,056 yards and six touchdowns. His yards-per-catch average of 22.5 was the best in the NFL.
The 24-year-old is slated to earn $565,000 this year and had he not reported by Tuesday could have lost a year of service time towards free agency.
