Philadelphia Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins said he hopes players shift the focus away from the national anthem when it comes to protesting police brutality and racial inequality this season.
"Me personally, I really want to get this conversation to move away from the anthem," Jenkins told Kent Babb of the Washington Post. "I think it has served its purpose."
Washington corner Josh Norman, who works closely with Jenkins as part of the Players Coalition, criticized Colin Kaepernick and Eric Reid for separating themselves from other players with the protests.
