Dallas Cowboys players reportedly held a team meeting Wednesday to discuss owner Jerry Jones' policy on standing for the national anthem, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport said the meeting was held to "air out frustrations" and added that, while the coaching staff listened to the players' concerns, they were "essentially told to ask [Jones]."
On Sunday, Jones said players won't play if they kneel during the anthem and are "disrespectful to the flag," per ESPN.com's Chris Mortensen.
Jones also said the policy has been in place since last season and insisted "it's in the best interests of the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL and the players" to stand for the anthem.
