The NFL and NFL Players Association released a joint statement on Thursday on the league's national anthem policy.
"No new rules relating to the anthem will be issued or enforced for the next several weeks while these confidential discussions are ongoing," the statement said.
It also said the two parties "have come to a standstill agreement on the NFLPA's grievance and on the NFL's anthem policy."
The NFLPA filed a grievance challenging the leauge's new anthem policy on July 10.
In May, NFL owners unanimously approved a new anthem policy that requires players to stand if they are on the field during the performance of the Star-Spangled Banner.
