The Bears haven't had a team-wide discussion regarding whether to kneel during the national anthem this season, but safety Jordan Lucas has already made up his mind.
Lucas, a four-year veteran who signed with the Bears back in March, told media members that he '110%' plans to kneel during pregame national anthems this season. As the NFL continues to reverse course on its previously-held stance regarding publicly protesting police brutality and racial inequality, more players have come forward and vocalized their intentions to take a knee during anthems in 2020. As Lucas put it, the league environment is far different today than it was when he was a rookie.
