HENDERSON, Nev. -- Josh Jacobs not reporting Tuesday for the first day of Las Vegas Raiders training camp was expected. After all, he and the Raiders not only failed to reach agreement on a contract extension by last week's deadline, but the first-team All-Pro running back still has not signed his franchise tag.
Jacobs cannot be fined for missing time in training camp as he doesn't have a signed contract.
Still, Raiders coach Josh McDaniels reiterated Tuesday he would welcome Jacobs back, whenever he chooses to report.
"I know Dave [Ziegler] and Tom [Delaney] worked feverishly with his representation last week to do what they could," McDaniels said of the Raiders general manager and he team's senior vice president/director of football administration.
