Colin Kaepernick will end his controversial stance of kneeling during the national anthem during the upcoming season, but he remains committed to the cause that prompted his actions, a source close to the quarterback said.
Kaepernick made national headlines last year when he was seen sitting during the anthem ceremony before a preseason game. He later began kneeling -- teammates Eric Reid and Eli Harold joined him -- as a way of calling attention to racial injustice in this country. ESPN first reported that Kaepernick would be on his feet during the anthem this season.
The quarterback's decision to stand likely will be well-received by any teams that are considering signing him.
