Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall stood up Sunday night for the national anthem for the first time this season, a reaction to the Denver Police Department’s announcement that it would be rewriting its use-of-force policy.
Marshall was one of the first NFL players to take a knee in solidarity with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who first began kneeling during the national anthem in the preseason to protest police brutality and racism. But on Instagram Sunday night, Marshall posted that he would be standing for the national anthem going forward.
