HOUSTON -- Texans receiver DeAndre Hopkins says he wasnt trying to send a message with his brief holdout before reporting to his first practice of training camp on Monday.In his first public comments since the holdout, Hopkins repeatedly pushed questions regarding his contract status toward his agent and the Houston front office, led by general manager Rick Smith.They handle that, Hopkins said of his representatives and the Texans, when asked if he had been told from either side that he would not be receiving a new contract this season. All I do is go out here and play football. I let them do the negotiating.Hopkins, who is entering the fourth year of his rookie contract, did not report to the first practice of Houstons training camp on Sunday. That absence earned him a $40,000 fine. By the afternoon, Hopkins said in a statement to ESPN that he would be returning to the team, adding that he was disappointed that the Texans had elected not to enter into contract negotiations.I wasnt trying to send a message or anything like that, Hopkins said after Monday mornings practice. I was doing what I felt like was best for me and my family.By reporting to practice before Wednesday, Hopkins will now be eligible to collect his $445,004 roster bonus on Thursday.Despite efforts to downplay Hopkins contract status and focus on football, the spectacle of his situation was evident throughout Mondays practice. After his media session concluded, Hopkins went to sign autographs for fans in attendance at NRG Park -- and a chant of Pay the Man! broke out.Hopkins, who had 111 catches, 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns a year ago while working with four different quarterbacks, seemed to quickly find a groove with new starter Brock Osweiler. The pair hooked up for multiple touchdowns in seven-on-seven drills at Mondays practice.It feels great [to be back], Hopkins said. I play football, that is what I love doing. I love my teammates, coaches and this organization.I just have to keep working, he said, alluding to questions regarding his contract. Everything will work itself out. All Ive got to do is come out here and prove what Im worth. Im not rushing it. Itll come one day.Because the Texans picked up the fifth-year option on Hopkins contract in May, he effectively has two seasons remaining on his current deal. Smith said Sunday that the teams position was firm that it would not negotiate with Hopkins this season, adding Monday that he was excited and happy to see Hopkins report to camp.Head coach Bill OBrien had largely stayed out of the fray, commenting Sunday that he was solely focused on the coaching the guys who were present. On Monday, however, OBrien noted that the teams offense looked significantly improved with Hopkins in the mix.I thought we were a lot better today and a lot more crisp, OBrien said.Anytime you have that presence, that is really good for your team, he said, referring to a question about Hopkins return.Owner Bob McNair said Monday that he was pleased with Hopkins return, adding that the contract would be dealt with at an appropriate time.Im happy that hes back, McNair said in a statement. I think its in his best interest for him to be here. Well deal with his contract at the proper time. We take care of our players, and well take care of him.Hopkins was a first-round pick by Houston in 2013. The Texans extended their first-round picks in 2011 and 2012, J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus, as they entered their fourth seasons.But Smith said Sunday that the team had decided it was not the right time for a revised contract with Hopkins. In the meantime, Hopkins says his focus is exclusively on football and building chemistry with Osweiler and the rest of Houstons revamped offense.From where we started at to where we are now, weve come a long way, Hopkins said.

Around the same time that the ICC heard the Faf du Plessis case, there emerged on social media footage of Virat Kohli and David Warner with suggestions that they might have introduced artificial substances to shine the ball. That footage, though, was not a consideration for the ICC because any Level 1 or 2 offence under the ICC Code of Conduct has to be brought to the notice of the ICC match referee within five days of the incident.Du Plessis footage - which has proved him guilty of altering the state of the ball based on the evidence that showed an artificial substance being transferred to the ball - was brought to the ICCs notice within five days, following which it reviewed the footage and then decided if it merited investigation. The charge on du Plessis was brought after the investigation. The footage of Kohli and Warner didnt even reach the stage where the ICC would decide if they merited an investigation. The Kohli footage is from the second innings of the Rajkot Test, which began on November 9. Warners is from day three of the Hobart Test, which began on November 12.Only the match umpires, CEOs of the two participating boards or the ICC CEO can report an alleged offence under the ICC Code of Conduct. Apart from those made by the ICC CEO, the other reports under Level 1 and 2 - du Plessis was a Level 2 offence - have to be made within 48 hours of the event. If the ICC CEO makes the report, it has to be done inside five days.Clause 3.2.2 of the ICC Code of Conduct says:Where the Report is lodged by the individual described in Article 3.1.3 [the ICC CEO] in relation to: 3.2.2.1 a Level 1 Offence or a Level 2 Offence that is alleged to have been committed at any time or place (whether on the field of play or otherwise), then the Report must be lodged with the Match Referee (or, where, for logistical reasons, it is impractical to lodge with the Match Referee, the ICCs Cricket Operatiions Department) within five (5) days of the commission of the alleged offenceThe Level 2 charge on du Plessis was laid by the ICC CEO David Richardson on November 18, three days after the incident.dddddddddddd Offences under Level 3 and 4 can be reported within seven days but it is fair to assume Kohli and Warner - if they merited being charged - would not have been charged for a more serious offence than du Plessis.Whether the available footage of other players allegedly introducing artificial substances to the ball brings any change to how the ICC deals with ball-tampering depends on either the MCC or the ICC cricket committee. Former players of varied nationalities - Sourav Ganguly, Jason Gillespie and Matt Prior to name a few - have said in the last week that the use of a sweet or a lolly or a mint to shine a ball is a practice widely prevalent in cricket.Amongst the players the lines are pretty clear & use of mints/sweets to shine the ball is accepted, Prior responded on Twitter when asked what the line regarding ball-tampering was.Not everyone scratches the ball on their zipper but EVERYONE uses sweets! Youd have to fine/ban a player every match, Prior went on to tweet.The ICC looks at lessons it can learn from every incident so this case should be no different. If it is deemed that a change in laws is necessary, it falls under the realm of the MCC, whose head of cricket John Stephenson was present at the hearing. The ICC Cricket Committee, likely to meet next at Lords in May 2017, discusses all cricket-related issues every year. If it feels the playing conditions need to be modified in the light of what former players say, the change is likely to be made in May. Unless it is considered an emergency, in which case they can meet over a tele-conference. ' ' '
