2024 NFL holdout, hold-in tracker: Training camp updates - ESPN
With training camps starting around the NFL this week, most of the buzz is about players preparing for the 2024 season. But it's not that simple for several standouts.
The start of training camps brings contract situations to a head, resulting in players staying away from camp or, in recent years, reporting to camp to avoid fines but avoiding practice until their financial situations are addressed. That's what we're tracking, as several big-name players are limiting their participation in practice, not practicing at all or not reporting and subjecting themselves to daily fines that won't be reimbursed.
Here's a look at seven players who are in limbo as camps get ramped up, along with updates from our NFL Nation writers. The players include two 49ers and one of the Cowboys' three stars looking for a big deal.
Status: Reported to camp, not practicing
While teammate Trent Williams holds out, Aiyuk is holding in. The wideout was a surprise report for training camp on Tuesday but, as expected, he did not participate in practice Wednesday. General manager John Lynch said he is not optimistic or pessimistic that a deal can get done with Aiyuk in the near future but did reiterate the Niners' plan to keep Aiyuk for at least this season. Until there's some sort of resolution, however, it's unlikely that Aiyuk will take part in any on-field activities. — Nick Wagoner, 49ers reporter
