DeSean Jackson Ends Holdout, Reports To Lehigh
DeSean Jackson has ended his holdout and reported to Eagles training camp at Lehigh.
The explosive wide receiver joined his teammates at camp on Monday, though he didn't practice in the morning.
Jackson took the field for the first time during the afternoon's walk-through session.
A two-time Pro Bowl pick, Jackson wants a new contract. He is slated to earn $565,000 this season, the final one of his four-year rookie deal.
Jackson caught 47 passes for 1,056 yards and six touchdowns last year, and his 22.5 yard-per-catch average was best in the NFL.
He also averaged 11.6 yards on 20 punt returns, including a 65-yarder for a TD that beat the New York Giants on the last play of a game in the Meadowlands on Dec. 19.
If Jackson hadn't reported by Tuesday, he could've lost a year of service time toward free agency.
