Eagles planning anthem demonstration on Monday night

And while there were still some demonstrations from NFL players during the national anthem, at least one team refrained on that day — but won't in Week Two.

"Everybody wants to be a part of it and I feel like it's no different on our team," Eagles safety Malcolm Jenkins told Glen Macnow of WIP in Philadelphia on Friday, via CSNPhilly.com. "We got guys, especially myself, who feel very strongly about the topic. Last week, we talked about doing some stuff, but we wanted to make sure we didn't do anything to take away from the folks, the families, that suffered from 9-11. We didn't want to mess with that day, so we left last week alone. But moving forward, I'm sure there will be guys that will probably join in."

Jenkins said he possibly will one one of the players who participate in the demonstration.

"For me, it has nothing to do with this country or the flag or the anthem in itself," Jenkins said. "Really, it's just to continue to push for the conversation about social injustice.
