NFL teams cancel practice in response to Blake shooting

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- The New York Jets, Indianapolis Colts, Washington Football Team and Green Bay Packers all canceled practices in an apparent response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Wisconsin.

The Jets were scheduled to start warmups at 9:20 a.m. EDT on Thursday, but the field remained empty. The team provided no immediate details on their decision to not practice.

Blake, 29, was shot by police officers, apparently in the back, on Sunday as he leaned into his SUV, three of his children seated inside.
