Colts, Jets, Washington Cancel Practice Thursday After Shooting of Jacob Blake

The Indianapolis Colts announced Thursday that they canceled practice in order to "work toward making a lasting social impact and inspiring change in our communities." The New York Jets and Washington Football Team also canceled practice on Thursday.

The decision to cancel practice came a day after multiple NBA and MLB games were postponed in protest following the shooting of 29-year-old Black man Jacob Blake by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, this week.

Blake is currently paralyzed from the waist down, according to his father.
