CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers strong safety Eric Reid wouldn't use the word "revenge'' or "bitter'' to describe his feelings about Sunday's game against unbeaten San Francisco.
"I just don't forget,'' Reid said on Wednesday as the 4-2 Panthers prepared for the 49ers (6-0).
This will be Reid' first game as an opponent at San Francisco, where he first took a knee with quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016 and was not re-signed following the 2017 season after filing a collusion grievance against the NFL.
From the end of the 2017 season until the Panthers signed him in late September of 2018, Reid went unsigned after the NFLPA filed a grievance on his behalf, accusing the league of blackballing him for taking a knee during the national anthem to protest social injustice.
