LANDOVER — Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and linebacker Brandon Marshall did not stand on the sideline for the playing of the national anthem at FedEx Field on Friday — emerging from the tunnel moments afterward.
The two players have done the same throughout the preseason.
Here’s what Thomas told The Athletic on Aug. 15 about his decision to stay in the tunnel:
Caught up with Demaryius Thomas about a bunch of stuff. More to come on the football stuff, but when I asked him why he decided to stay in the tunnel with Brandon Marshall for the anthem, this is what he said: pic.
