Melvin Ingram returns to practice after Chargers guarantee his salary

There was a potential holdout on the horizon over in Los Angeles, CA as defensive end Melvin Ingram sat out of consecutive practices due to being dissatisfied with his contract.

The Chargers didn’t want to deal with missing the 31-year old Ingram, which is why the team agreed to adjust his contract.

NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo reports that L.A. guaranteed this year’s salary of $14 million, making it enough for Ingram to return to practice.

Ingram, who is slated to become a free agent after this season, is still seeking a long-term deal. But the guarantee was good enough for him to return to the gridiron in the meantime.

In 106 career games, Ingram has recorded 350 combined tackles, 49 sacks, 14 forced fumbles and two interceptions.
