Vernon Davis reports to 49ers camp
It appears Vernon Davis' holdout from the San Francisco 49ers is over before it really got started.
49ers safety C.J. Spillman posted an Instagram video of his teammates celebrating his return in the team's locker room. The 49ers reported to training camp Wednesday.

Davis stayed away from the 49ers' voluntary offseason sessions and then he held out of the team's mandatory minicamp last month. Davis, who is the fourth highest paid tight end in the NFL, wants a new deal.

The 49ers are likely not inclined to give Davis a new deal because he is 30 and because they already have given him a big contract in the past.
Davis wavered publicly often during this holdout. Last month he said it wouldn't be 'the end of the world' if he didn't get a new deal. An NFL source said Tuesday night that Davis was likely headed to camp because he didn't want to incur a daily fine of $30,000 for missing training camp practices.
While Davis is back with the 49ers, guard Alex Boone is expected to continue his holdout into training camp. An NFL source said Boone plans to stay away the team until he gets a new contract.
Boone, 27, is considered a top guard although he is the 43rd highest paid guard in the NFL. The two sides are not close on a new contract.
