08/21/2007 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Pro Bowl running back Larry Johnson has apparently ended his holdout and has reported to training camp with the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Kansas City Star said Johnson was at practice Tuesday afternoon, after agreeing to a five-year contract extension that will take him through the 2012 season. The paper said the new deal will pay the 2003 first-round pick $45 million over the next six years.
Johnson had been absent from training camp since it opened late last month.
The former Penn State star set an NFL record last season with 416 carries and finished second in the league with 1,789 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns. He also caught 41 passes for 410 yards with two scores out of the backfield.
His rushing yardage was the most in franchise history, eclipsing the total of 1,750 yards he set in 2005. He joined the Rams' Eric Dickerson (1983-84) and Denver's Terrell Davis (1997-98) as the only runners in NFL history to reach 1,750 rushing yards in consecutive seasons.
