STANFORD, Calif. (AP) Free agent safety Eric Reid says he is not planning to protest during the national anthem this upcoming season.
Reid has been among the NFL’s most visible protesters since former San Francisco teammate Colin Kaepernick decided not to stand for the national anthem in 2016.
Reid continued the protest of racial injustice and police brutality last season as Kaepernick was unable to find a job. Reid is a free agent this offseason and has not received any contract offers despite strong play on the field.
Reid said after his brother Justin’s pro day at Stanford that he will remain active in protesting injustice but will take a different approach than doing it during the anthem.
