Houston Texans players are reportedly planning a unified protest before Sunday's road game against the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field after team owner Bob McNair said "we can't have the inmates running the prison" during a discussion regarding NFL players who've taken a knee during the national anthem, per ESPN's Seth Wickersham and Don Van Natta Jr.

Adam Schefter of ESPN noted the Texans held a meeting Saturday to discuss how to handle the situation and, while the exact nature of the planned protest is unknown, "peeling the Texans decal off their helmets or raising their fists" were among the options considered.
