Eric Reid's Grievance Against the Bengals Reportedly Rejected by Arbitrator

Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid's grievance against the Cincinnati Bengals has reportedly been rejected by an arbitrator.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported arbitrator Shyam Das ruled the Bengals were allowed to ask Reid during his free-agent visit whether he planned to continue protesting during the national anthem. The NFLPA filed a grievance on Reid's behalf, claiming the Bengals chose not to sign him because he planned to continue kneeling during the anthem.

The Panthers signed Reid earlier this month after suffering injuries at the safety position.
