Texans' Justin Reid: I support Colin Kaepernick, I support my brother

HOUSTON -- Houston Texans safety Justin Reid said Nike's new ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick means a lot to him, and that he supports the former NFL quarterback.

Reid's brother, Eric, was the first San Francisco 49ers player to take a knee alongside Kaepernick in 2016 during the national anthem in protest of racial inequality and police brutality. Kaepernick is currently suing owners for allegedly colluding to keep him out of the NFL. In May, Eric Reid also filed a collusion grievance against the NFL regarding his employment status.
