CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Eric Reid era with the Carolina Panthers began on Sunday with the free safety taking a knee during the national anthem as his protest against social injustice continued with his new team.
Reid stood near midfield until the anthem began, then went to one knee as he did with the San Francisco 49ers from 2016 through last season.
The Panthers signed Reid during their bye last week to replace Da'Norris Searcy, who was placed on injured reserve after suffering his second concussion in a month.
