ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, who taken a knee during the National Anthem in each of the Broncos' first eight games of the season, will stand for the anthem before Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders.
Marshall said he will stand for the remainder of the season. Marshall put a statement on Instagram Sunday.
In his statement, Marshall referenced O'Shaine Evans, an Oakland man shot and killed by San Francisco Police in 2014.
Reports at the time said Evans pointed an unloaded gun at police outside AT&T Park as police were investigating break-ins to cars outside the stadium during San Francisco Giants games.
