Report: Eagles' Jenkins to attend mandatory minicamp, focused on 2019

Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins will attend mandatory minicamp, which begins Tuesday, after staying away from the team in an attempt to force a new contract extension, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Schefter reported last week that Jenkins' holdout had no end in sight, but now says the veteran is focused on the 2019 season. Jenkins is under contract through 2020.

The 31-year-old's contract hasn't been reworked, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Jenkins had been seeking a pay bump from his $8.75-million annual salary, which ranks ninth at his position.

Jenkins has been a key piece in Philadelphia's defense for the past five seasons. He racked up 97 tackles, three forced fumbles, and one interception in 2018.
