The Kansas City Chiefs and Houston Texans are reportedly considering remaining in the locker room for the playing of the national anthem prior to their season-opening game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on Thursday.
According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Chiefs and Texans players have "been in talks about a joint demonstration" before the game that "makes a statement on racial injustice and shows unity."
Pelissero added that Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills and Texans safety Michael Thomas are among the players involved in talks.
