Melvin Ingram has support from teammate Joey Bosa as he seeks a new contract with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Ingram is amid a hold-in as the Chargers take part in the first padded practices of the year this week.

The new collective bargaining agreement makes holdouts prohibitive, so Ingram is at L.A.'s facility. He's going to meetings, but isn't participating in practices.

"We've talked a little bit, and all I have to say is I'm going to support him," Bosa said. "He's going to make the best decision for him and his family. I have faith in him that he's going to make the right decisions."

Ingram is entering the final year of a four-year, $64 million contract signed in 2017. Bosa received a five-year, $135 million extension earlier this month, which made him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.
