Which NFL Players Protested Racial Injustice During the National Anthem in Week 4?
For the first week this NFL season, not every team will be playing a game.
Sunday of Week 4 will only feature 13 games instead of 14 like the previous two weeks because bye weeks have started.
One of the teams on a bye this week is the Carolina Panthers, who recently signed Pro Bowl safety Eric Reid. Reid had been a free agent since his contract with the 49ers ran up after last season. He is famously the first player to join former quarterback Colin Kaepernick in his protest of racial injustice and police brutality in the United States by kneeling during the national anthem.
Reid has a collusion lawsuit that is still ongoing against the league concerning why he remained unsigned for so long.
