Which NFL Players Protested Racial Injustice With a Demonstration During the National Anthem Week 2?

Week 2 of the NFL season continued on Sunday with a set of 14 games throughout the day, including nine games in 1 p.m. ET block.

Prior to the start of the games, the national anthem was played and some players protested racial injustice and police brutality in the United States by making some sort of demonstration during the song.

This comes on the heels of the NFL deciding to hold off on putting together a new national anthem policy for this season after it had initially introduced a new policy in May that said players were mandated to stand on the sidelines during the anthem or remain in the locker room.
