ESPN's Adam Schefter reports holdout Mike Wallace is "expected to report back to Steelers before the regular season begins."
However, Schefter does allow Wallace could "(always) change his mind." Schefter's report echoes those of CBS' Pat Kirwan and ESPN's Bob Holtzman. Reporting before Week 1 would make Wallace's holdout more baffling, as it would mean the only thing he accomplished was avoiding preseason injury. If he could take the salary hit, digging in until Week 10 would have made more sense. As it stands now, Wallace will be way behind in new OC Todd Haley's offense, and perhaps behind Antonio Brown on the depth chart. The Steelers have been adamant Wallace won't be traded.
