Josh Jacobs won't join his Las Vegas Raiders teammates when they report to training camp on Tuesday.
The franchise-tagged running back won't report for camp and has told people close to him that he doesn't plan to return to the team anytime soon, ¹ú²úÍâÁ÷ÍøNetwork Insider Tom Pelissero reported on Monday, per sources informed of the situation.
Pelissero noted that Jacobs was spotted on Monday boarding a flight leaving Las Vegas, underscoring the running back's plan to miss the bulk -- if not all -- of training camp.
Jacobs has yet to sign his one-year, $10.091 million franchise tender, meaning he's not currently under contract and, thereby, not subject to fines for missing camp.
The Raiders and Jacobs had until July 17 to negotiate a multi-year contract. With that deadline passed, the back can only play 2023 on a one-year deal.
Pelissero that Jacobs was sitting in the Raiders' parking lot with teammate Maxx Crosby at the July 17 deadline, ready to sign a contract if one materialized. It didn't.
Now it's unclear when the NFL's leading rusher in 2022 will join his teammates.
