Donald Penn has officially ended his holdout.
The offensive lineman reported to the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday. The team even tweeted a photo of Penn on the practice field to confirm things:

Penn is set to make $5.8 million this season, which is the last year of his two-year contract. The 34-year-old knows he is up there in age and that he needs to get all the money he can while he’s still playing well, which explains his holdout.
Penn missed nearly four weeks of camp but has not gotten a raise or extension yet. He is hoping that by showing up and reporting to the team, the Raiders will respond by negotiating with him in good faith.
