Less than two days after suggesting that he was prepared to sit out the entire 2008 season, Bears receiver Devin Hester reported for training camp. According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times, Hester arrived on Friday morning, and will practice with the team later today. But Hester has arrived without the new contract that he wants, and there’s no guarantee that he’ll get his new deal.

These guys are so full of shit. He will not sit out the year. He can't afford to lose 15 grand a day. Dumb ass.

Word is that he "might" be injured, his way of sitting out but not having to pay a fine.

Although Bears receiver/return man Devin Hester reported to training camp today, he did not practice, and multiple media outlets in Chicago are reporting that he has an injured hamstring. The Daily Herald reports that when Hester was asked if he would practice without a contract extension, he answered, “I have no comment on that.” But Hester did say he decided to end his brief holdout after Bears General Manager Jerry Angelo and coach Lovie Smith told him they thought they could make progress on a contract extension. “Progress was starting to move, and it was looking good, so I came back,” Hester said. “I talked to Jerry and coach Lovie, and everything seemed like it was starting to work out in the right order, and we were starting to hear what we liked, so I’m showing up.”
