Michael Bennett stands on sideline for national anthem in Cowboys debut

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- In his first game with the Dallas Cowboys, Michael Bennett stood on the sideline during the playing of the national anthem for the first time this season.

The Cowboys acquired Bennett in a trade from the New England Patriots during the bye week and the national anthem was among the discussions as the deal was being consummated. The Cowboys also reworked Bennett's contract, deleting the final year of his contract and lowering his base salary, while creating up to $750,000 in incentives he can earn.

Bennett has yet to speak with the media since the trade.
