Jeremy Lane heard from Colin Kaepernick last week after Lane sat during the national anthem prior to the team's fourth preseason game.

"He reached out to me and just told me thank you, standing behind me," Lane said.

Lane followed suit less than a week after Kaepernick first sat in protest of American racial injustice and minority oppression. Lane plans to continue to sit going forward, but he doesn't know if any of his Seattle Seahawks teammates will join him.

"I don't know. I don't want to put any pressure on anyone. I'm doing it for me," he said.
