HOUSTON (AP) Houston Texans star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins did not report to training camp Saturday.
Entering his fourth pro season, Hopkins is holding out for a new contract. He is scheduled to make $1 million in salary in the final season of his rookie contract, though the Texans have picked up his fifth-year option.
Hopkins can be fined up to $40,000 for every day he misses camp.
He comes off a huge season with 111 receptions, 1,521 yards receiving and 11 touchdowns despite inconsistency at quarterback and few other receiving options on the Texans.
Houston general manager Rick Smith said in a statement, ”Our focus is on the 2016 season and all of our collective efforts and attention will be centered on that endeavor.”
