Urlacher Says Kaepernick's Kneel Would Have Broken His Bears Locker Room

Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher stated that Colin Kaepernick's 2016 national anthem protests would have been unacceptable in his Chicago Bears locker room. Urlacher argued that political divisions disrupt team unity, a stance that led him and his wife to stop watching professional football for approximately three years. While he acknowledged minor conflicts are normal, he viewed the anthem protests as a fundamental breach of locker room cohesion.

Giants QB Crisis Reignites Debate on Kaepernick's Viability

The New York Giants face a quarterback crisis after Jaxson Dart suffered a severe knee injury, potentially ending his season. With backup Jameis Winston struggling, coach John Harbaugh has publicly expressed interest in evaluating former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who is currently 38 years old. While the Giants' offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, previously worked with Kaepernick, the team must determine if the veteran still possesses the necessary skills. The situation is complicated by the uncertainty surrounding Dart's recovery timeline and the limited availability of other viable free agents.

Kaepernick alleges NFL continues blackballing him a decade after kneeling

Colin Kaepernick tells NBC News that the NFL is "actively blackballing me" a decade after his kneel, arguing the league’s social-justice initiatives haven’t materially changed its behavior toward him. He says there’s no single moment that explains the blackballing and notes no team signed him after he became a free agent in 2017 despite interest; his collusion grievance was settled in 2019. Kaepernick continues training and promotes his memoir The Perilous Fight and other ventures, and is set to receive the Muhammad Ali Center’s Humanitarian of the Year Award.

Independent autopsy results for Nolan Wells coming soon, family says

The Wells family—backed by civil rights attorney Ben Crump—says an independent autopsy of 18-year-old Nolan Wells will reveal preliminary findings within hours, including whether he had injuries beyond drowning. The second autopsy, funded by Colin Kaepernick, follows a Mississippi medical examiner’s autopsy that has not yet determined a cause of death. Wells disappeared after a Fourth of July boat trip near Horn Island, and his body was recovered two days later; his funeral has already taken place as the family awaits more details.
