Houston Texans left tackle Duane Brown has ended his holdout after six games and is back with the team, a source told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The three-time Pro Bowler returned to the Texans' facility Monday after staying away due to the dispute over his contract, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Brown also skipped the entire offseason program, but Rapoport added that he reported in game shape.
While rumors have swirled that Brown is a trade candidate, the veteran has returned to play for Houston, and not to get shipped off ahead of next Tuesday's deadline, according to Rapoport.
The Texans' offensive line struggled without its top player early in the season, but has improved since Deshaun Watson took over under center.
