Houston Texans star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is holding out for new contract and did not report to training camp Saturday. Hopkins is scheduled to make $1 million in salary in the final season of his rookie contract, though the Texans have picked up his fifth-year option. He can be fined up to $40,000 for every day he misses camp. He is coming off a huge season with 111 receptions, 1,521 yards receiving, and 11 touchdowns despite inconsistency at quarterback and few other receiving options on the Texans. Houston general manager Rick Smith said in a statement: ‘‘We are disappointed DeAndre has elected not to report to training camp with the rest of his teammates. He has expressed his position regarding his contract status, and we have been clear with both he and his representatives of ours. Our focus is on the 2016 season and all of our collective efforts and attention will be centered on that endeavor.’’
