    Pro Bowl tight end Marcedes Lewis ended his holdout and joined the Jaguars on Monday, as both sides agreed he won't practice until a long-term deal is ironed out.

    Lewis signed a franchise tag before the lockout worth just less than $7.3 million, so he is now subject to daily fines for being away from the team for as much as $30,000.

    "We haven't discussed that and hopefully we won't have to discuss that," Lewis said after spending the morning on the field with a team in a walkthrough where he did just a bit and wasn't wearing a jersey.

    "I'm tired of sitting at the house worrying about what was going on with my contract and all of that," he said. "I decided to let that run its course, let the chips fall where they may. Me being here is for my team and I want to be part of something big."
