A grievance filed on behalf of Eric Reid against the Cincinnati Bengals has been denied.

The NFL Players Association filed the grievance on behalf of Reid after Bengals owner Mike Brown reportedly asked if Reid would continue kneeling during the national anthem.

The arbitrator ruled the Bengals were within their rights to ask if Reid would continue to kneel. Reid began kneeling during the anthem during the 2016 season.

Reid has subsequently signed with the Carolina Panthers.

NBC has replaced their scheduled Week 7 Sunday Night Football game between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers with a game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cincinnati Bengals.

The Chiefs are undefeated while the Bengals have a 4-1 record.

Kansas City will also play on Sunday Night in Week 6 against the Patriots.

The 49ers lost Jimmy Garoppolo for the season in Week 3.
