Report: Bengals owner Mike Brown asked about Eric Reid about Anthem kneeling, plans to prohibit it

Former San Francisco 49ers safety Eric Reid made his first visit of free agency this week, talking to the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday. Pro Football Talk is reporting that he took a physical and reviewed film with the coaching staff. PFT is also reporting he had what sounds like a rather pointed conversation with Bengals owner Mike Brown about his past decision to kneel during the National Anthem.

Brown, according to the source, initiated discussion regarding the issue of kneeling during the anthem. The conversation almost exclusively centered on the topic, with Brown explaining that he intends to prohibit it — and with Brown at one point asking Reid for his response.
