Three Eagles players raise fists during national anthem

CHICAGO -- Three members of the Philadelphia Eagles -- safety Malcolm Jenkins, cornerback Ron Brooks and defensive end Steven Means -- stood side-by-side with one arm raised in the air during Monday night's national anthem prior to the game between the Eagles and Bears.

Jenkins told the media this week that he planned to make a statement to further the conversation about social injustice as Colin Kaepernick and others around the league have done in recent weeks.

"There's no comfortable way to change anything," said Jenkins this week.
