Tight end Marcedes Lewis signed a five-year deal with the Jaguars and will resume practice today.

Lewis had been signed to the $7.28 million franchise tender but he wanted a long-term deal, and although he reported on Monday, he wouldn't practice without a new contract.

The exact figures weren't available but he got more than $34 million overall and almost $18 million guaranteed.

Pro Bowl tight end Marcedes Lewis ended his holdout and joined the Jaguars on Monday, as both sides agreed he won't practice until a long-term deal is ironed out.

Lewis signed a franchise tag before the lockout worth just less than $7.3 million, so he is now subject to daily fines for being away from the team for as much as $30,000.

"We haven't discussed that and hopefully we won't have to discuss that," Lewis said after spending the morning on the field with a team in a walkthrough where he did just a bit and wasn't wearing a jersey.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Marcedes Lewis will end his short holdout on Monday and report to training camp.

"Basically they still are negotiating but I'm tired of not being with my team! And I need to be there..." Lewis said via text message.

Lewis plans on being in Jacksonville by Monday for meetings and walk-throughs until his deal is finished. The Jaguars franchised Lewis in February and the Pro Bowl tight end signed his franchise tender in March.

The franchise tag would pay him $7.3 million for a one-year deal, but Lewis does not want to play for a one-year deal. He wants a long-term deal and the Jaguars said they want to give him one, but they were unable to reach an agreement with Lewis' agent, Bus Cook, on Lewis before training camp began on Wednesday.

Fantasy owners had no reason to be overly concerned about missed time, but it's nice to see that Lewis will report. He's Jacksonville's top receiver heading into the season and a top ten fantasy option at his position.

Jaguars TE Zachary Miller (ankle probable) took full reps Friday. Miller was seen in a walking boot after injuring the ankle Wednesday but is probable for Sunday. Miller isn't a fantasy option regardless, but Marcedes Lewis could see a few more looks if Miller is limited.

Jaguars TE Marcedes Lewis (thumb) took full reps Thursday but dislocated his thumb and was in some pain. He should be fine for Sunday after having the thumb put back in place. Life in the NFL. Jaguars TE Zach Miller (ankle) did not practice Thursday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced tackle Eugene Monroe (concussion) will be out for Sunday’s game at New Meadowlands Stadium against the Giants.

Tight end Marcedes Lewis will probably have fewer chances to run routes as he will have to stay in more to help keep quarterback David Garrard upright. Jacksonville quarterbacks have been sacked 27 times this season. The Giants have 27 sacks.

The offense suffers when Lewis can’t get out.

Lewis has been especially effective as the lone tight end in three-wide formations this year.

With that personnel on the field, Lewis has 24 receptions on 36 targets with 265 yards and four touchdowns as opposed to 11 receptions, 180 yards and four TDs in all other sets. In three wide, as defenses account for the Jaguars’ additional speed, Lewis has operated well underneath, with 21 of his 23 catches coming on throws of 14 yards or less.

The loss of Monroe suggests the Jaguars won’t be able to spread the field as much as they might like against New York’s rush.

While Lewis should remain a reliable fantasy tight end, additional blocking will cut into his production.

Jaguars WR Mike Sims-Walker (ankle doubtful) returned to limited practice Friday but is doubtful for Sunday. Mike Thomas will officially take over as the Jaguars #1 WR and should see a lot of looks in a matchup with the Browns. Marcedes Lewis will also be relied upon more heavily.

Last Sunday against the Houston Texans, the Jaguars often lined up Marcedes Lewis and Zachary Miller together, throwing to Miller five times for 79 yards, including a 52-yard touchdown. It gave Miller the second-most receiving yards on the team, after receiver Mike Thomas. Although Miller isn't used as much, when he is, he gives the Jaguars a different dimension than Lewis does.

Jacksonville backup quarterback Luke McCown showed his team the way to the end zone and a 19-13 preseason victory over Tampa Bay Saturday night.

Jacksonville moved the ball consistently with starter David Garrard at quarterback. But it settled for field goals on three promising drives and had its best possession of the night turned back by a goal-line interception that linebacker Barrett Ruud returned 80 yards to set up Tampa Bay’s only touchdown.

Garrard played into the third quarter and completed 24 of 31 passes for 211 yards and one interception. He completed 15 of his first 17 passes for 134 yards and was 4 of 4 in marching the Jaguars into scoring position.

McCown gave the Jaguars some relief from their frustration, throwing a 27-yard TD pass to John Matthews on his first attempt of the night to put Jacksonville up 16-13 late in the third quarter. Josh Scobee’s fourth field goal provided the final margin of victory.

The Jaguars played without running back Maurice Jones-Drew, who sat out three days of practice last week and did not make the trip to Tampa. The Pro Bowler’s agent said the fifth-year pro is not injured and that the Jaguars were holding him out of the final two preseason games for "precautionary reasons."

Jacksonville was also without all three starting linebackers — Daryl Smith, Kirk Morrison and Justin Durant. Tight end Marcedes Lewis left in the first half with a sprained ankle and did not return.
