Eric Reid's grievance against the Cincinnati Bengals has reportedly been denied by an arbitrator, according to NFL.com.
Arbitrator Shyam Das reportedly decided that the Bengals were allowed to ask Reid if he planned to kneel during the playing of the national anthem, reports NFL.com.
The NFL Players Association filed a non-injury grievance on Reid's behalf in May after his visit to the Bengals as a free agent this spring. The Bengals did not sign Reid, who continued to be unemployed until the Carolina Panthers offered him a one-year deal in late September.
