Oakland Raiders offensive tackle Donald Penn reported to team facilities Wednesday after holding out through the first two games of the preseason.

Penn was spotted in uniform and headed to the weight room, ESPN's Paul Gutierrez reports.

The veteran tackle earned his second Pro Bowl selection last season, starring for one of the NFL's premier offensive lines.

Penn's holdout was reportedly due to dissatisfaction with his current contract. The 34-year-old will earn $5.8 million in base salary, holding a cap hit of $7.15 million for the upcoming campaign, and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the 2017 season.

The Raiders are expected to make a major leap after snapping their playoff drought last year and Penn is integral to keeping quarterback Derek Carr protected during passing downs.
