ALAMEDA Authentic Mats Zuccarello Jersey , Calif. (AP) — Oakland Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch sat during the national anthem ahead of the team’s season opener.
Lynch declined to stand for the anthem before a game against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night. Lynch also sat for the anthem all of last season but never gave a reason for his decision.
No other players on either team demonstrated during the anthem. Only a handful of players took some sort of action to protest police brutality and social injustice in America on opening weekend.
The league and the players’ union have yet to announce a policy for this season regarding demonstrations during the anthem after the league initially ordered everyone to stand on the sideline when “The Star-Spangled Banner” is played, or remain in the locker room.
Carson Wentz was back on the field throwing passes less than six months after knee surgery ended his season.
The Pro Bowl quarterback wore a brace on his surgically repaired left knee and tossed passes to assistant coaches and ballboys as the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles kicked off organized team activities on Tuesday. Wentz isn’t medically cleared to participate with the rest of the team.
”I’m just learning how to trust it Michael Grabner Jersey , trust your knee, trust your movement Jonathan Quick Jersey , all of those things,” he said. ”That comes over time.”
Nick Foles stepped in after Wentz went down Craig Anderson Jersey , leading the Eagles to their first NFL title since 1960. Foles was the Super Bowl MVP in a 41-33 victory over the Patriots and would be the starter if Wentz isn’t ready for the season opener on Sept. 6 against the Falcons.
”Anytime you’re rehabbing, you have to be careful Ryan Strome Jersey ,” Wentz said. ”Trust what the trainers and doctors are saying and be smart with it.”
Linebacker Paul Worrilow injured his knee during practice and had to be carted off the field. There was no immediate word on the extent of his injury.
