Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins ends 2-week hold-in

Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins has ended his hold-in as he prepares for the regular season, he told reporters on Tuesday.

Wilkins had withheld himself from team drills for the past two weeks in an effort to jumpstart a contract extension with Miami. The 2019 first-round pick is entering the final season of his rookie deal and expressed interest in a new contract throughout the offseason.

Negotiations between Wilkins and the team hit a stalemate, however, and no agreement has been made as Week 1 approaches.

Wilkins said he won't let any contract uncertainty impact his focus this season.
