Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Christian Wilkins has ended his hold-in as he prepares for the regular season. Wilkins had withheld himself from team drills for the past two weeks in an effort to jumpstart a contract extension with Miami. Negotiations between Wilkins and the team hit a stalemate, however, and no agreement has been made as Week 1 approaches. Wilkins said he won't let any contract uncertainty impact his focus this season. The Dolphins did sign a defensive tackle to a contract extension this week, locking in Zach Sieler to a three-year deal worth up to $39 million. Wilkins was a Dolphins team captain last season and leads all defensive linemen in run stop win rate and has recorded the second-most tackles by any defensive lineman in that span.
