Malcolm Jenkins, Michael Bennett wait out national anthem; De'Vante Bausby stands instead of protesting

CLEVELAND — The protest during the national anthem has been a little different each week of the Eagles’ preseason.

This time, safety Malcolm Jenkins stayed in the tunnel adjoining the Eagles’ sideline, as he’d done last week at New England, but unlike last week, corner De’Vante Bausby didn’t stay back with Jenkins — Bausby was on the sideline with the rest of the team.

Defensive end Michael Bennett was the last Eagle to take the field, as he has been each week, Bennett presumably remaining in the locker room during the anthem. Each week, Bennett has walked to the field with team security director Dom DiSandro.
