Houston Texans owner Bob McNair met with players on Saturday to apologize for an offensive comment he made during the NFL owners meetings on Oct. 18.

Per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, McNair "expressed regret," and all Texans players are expected to travel to Seattle for Sunday's game against the Seahawks.

Per ESPN The Magazine's Seth Wickersham and Don Van Natta Jr., McNair said during a meeting with NFL owners, team executives and commissioner Roger Goodell that the league "can't have the inmates running the prison" in response to the ongoing protesting during the national anthem.
