Denver Broncos: Broncos rookie defensive tackle Nick Eason is expected to be back in training camp by the weekend after unexpectedly leaving the team, his agent said Wednesday.

Eason, one of Denver's three fourth-round draft picks, participated in the first four days of camp, but turned up missing on Tuesday morning.

Gene Krcelic, one of Eason's agents, said Eason will meet with team officials Thursday. He said Eason is dealing with personal problems, but should be back in camp soon.

"It's really just some personal issues that he's dealing with," said Krcelic, who spoke with Eason by phone Wednesday. "I can't get into it much more than that right now."

The Broncos did not hear from Eason on Tuesday, but coach Mike Shanahan said someone from his family contacted the team to let them know he was all right.

"One of the members of our organization talked to somebody in the family," Shanahan said. "They said that he would be here today, but I haven't seen him."

Eason was expected to be a backup after being drafted out of Clemson with the 114th overall pick, but injuries to Daryl Gardener (wrist) and Russell Newman (shoulder) left the Broncos thin on the defensive line.

Indianapolis Colts: The Colts agreed to a contract with second-round pick Mike Doss on Wednesday night, and the safety was expected to report to training camp Thursday.

Terms of the deal were not announced.

Colts president Bill Polian said Sunday he had offered Doss a four-year contract worth $2.5 million with a voidable fifth year.

Doss' agent, Kevin Poston, said he and Doss were not comfortable with the previous offer but preferred the newer deal.

Third-round pick Donald Strickland also signed Wednesday. The only remaining holdout for the Colts was first-round pick Dallas Clark. His agent could not be reached for comment Wednesday night.

Oakland Raiders: Raiders center Barret Robbins made his training camp debut on Tuesday, ending his five-day stint on the physically-unable-to-perform list.

Robbins took part in 8-10 plays in the afternoon session, testing his surgically-repaired right knee.

"It felt great, even to get out there with limited reps," Robbins told The San Francisco Chronicle. "It felt real nice to be out there going through the drills and being a part of the team. I wish I could've done more but we've got to be smart at this point."

Robbins was suspended just hours before the Super Bowl following a two-day drinking binge that included a trip to Tijuana and thoughts of suicide.

Following the Super Bowl, he was hospitalized and later underwent in-patient treatment for alcohol abuse.

"It's been on my mind for a good six months. I didn't think it would ever come," Robbins told the Chronicle. "It's been an unbelievable journey. At some point, I didn't think I'd ever make it, so it feels real nice to have gotten through today."

Robbins rejoined the Raiders for offseason minicamps -- though coach Bill Callahan said Robbins must earn back his job as Oakland's starting center. He is currently the second-string center.

Cleveland Browns: Linebacker Chaun Thompson ended his holdout Wednesday night, agreeing to a five-year contract after the Browns warned the second-round draft pick they might reduce the amount of his deal.

Thompson, who played at West Texas A&M, is expected to practice Thursday, a team spokesman said.

Earlier Wednesday, Browns president Carmen Policy made it clear the team wasn't pleased that the 52nd overall pick wasn't in camp. Policy said if Thompson didn't sign before Thursday, the Browns would lessen their offer.

"This is not a threat or an ultimatum, but it's just an evaluation of the situation as we see it," Policy said. "We've indicated to Chaun's agents that the danger point is quickly coming upon us, that if things are delayed beyond tomorrow, we're crossing the line of no return."

Policy's tone changed after the Browns reached a deal with Thompson's agent, Jeffrey Griffin.

"We are delighted the young man has joined and he's ready to become a member of the Cleveland Browns family," Policy said.

Griffin could not be reached for comment.

Counting Wednesday's two practices, Thompson missed nine days and 13 practices since workouts for rookies began on July 22.

Indianapolis Colts: Cornerback Donald Strickland reported to training camp Wednesday, the first of three rookie holdouts to reach a deal with the team.

Strickland's agent said the third-round draft choice out of Colorado accepted a three-year, $1.34 million deal.

NFL rules prohibit unsigned players from participating in training camp.

"I'm extremely happy I've got things settled and can move on from here,'' Strickland said.

Strickland, who arrived for the morning practice, injured his groin during a three-day voluntary rookie camp last week in Indianapolis. Coach Tony Dungy said Wednesday that Strickland probably would miss more than a week.

The Colts' two top picks, tight end Dallas Clark and safety Mike Doss, missed their fourth practice Wednesday. Clark was the Colts' first-round choice out of Iowa; Doss was a second-round pick out of Ohio State.

San Francisco 49ers: 49ers tight end Mark Anelli will miss 6-to-8 weeks with a broken collarbone.

Anelli was hurt during practice on Tuesday. The second-year pro from Wisconsin was hoping for a bigger role with the team this season.

"He was having an awfully good camp," coach Dennis Erickson said Wednesday.

Starting fullback Fred Beasley will miss at least two days of workouts with a sprained right knee, but Erickson doesn't think the injury is serious.

Rookie receiver Arnaz Battle was activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list on Wednesday. Battle missed the first five days of camp with a groin injury.

Washington Redskins: The team ownership group led by Dan Snyder is selling about 20 percent of the team, according to a source within the NFL.

Three people who are close to Snyder will each buy a stake in the team, with the total purchase worth an estimated $200 million, according to the source who is familiar with the deal and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The deal, first reported by The Washington Times, is pending before the NFL's finance committee and is expected to be completed in August.

Snyder will remain the majority owner and in charge of the team's operations. Snyder's mother and sister also own shares of the team, as does publishing executive Fred Drasner. Snyder's father, Gerald, was a part-owner before he died in May.

Real estate developer Mort Zuckerman was also in the ownership group when Snyder bought the team for $800 million in 1999. Zuckerman sold his shares in 2000, and it is essentially his former stake that is being sold to the new owners, according to the source.

The money from the sale will be used to pay off some of the team's debt, which once totaled more than $500 million, according to the source.
