Wide receiver Nate Behar - drafted fifth overall by the Edmonton Eskimos in the 2017 CFL Draft - will end his contract holdout and report to the team this week, TSN's Dave Naylor reports.

Behar will reportedly sign a one-year contract with an option for a second year, after he and the Eskimos were unable to come to terms on a two-year deal with an option for a third season.

The former Carleton star missed all of training camp while holding out.

Edmonton kicks off the regular season Saturday on the road against the BC Lions.
