It appears the Bengals won’t face any repercussions following Eric Reid’s grievance against the team.According to NFL.com Shawn Williams Jersey , the grievance filed by the NFL Players Association on behalf of Reid after his free-agent visit to the Bengals this spring has been denied by an arbitrator,Reid and the NFLPA had filed a collusion grievance against the Bengals in the spring that remained opened to this point during the 2018 season, but it’s now been decided. The Bengals are off the hook.To recap, the Bengals hosted Reid for a visit in in April Darqueze Dennard Jersey , where owner Mike Brown allegedly discussed with Reid his intentions surrounding the national anthem. Brown allegedly, per Pro Football Talk, said he planned to prohibit kneeling during the anthem.Reid left the visit without a contract offer, and no NFL team would sign him until the regular season began. The NFLPA filed a grievance on his behalf back in May based on the following:This is the same type of case that Reid’s former 49ers teammate Giovani Bernard Jersey , Colin Kaepernick, filed against the NFL in November of 2017. That has yet to be ruled on, partly because Kapernick has yet to be signed by an NFL team.Reid, however Michael Johnson jersey , has since signed with the Panthers, so his case for a grievance probably took a hit with that. The former 49ers safety was an advocate in Kaepernick’s original national anthem protest back in 2016, and he continued to protest throughout the 2017 season when Kaepernick was no longer on the team. The case against the Bengals is that Brown was never going to offer Reid a contract if Reid told him he would not stop protesting while on the Bengals, despite having legitimate interest in Reid beforehand. The NFL arbitrator deemed it was within the Bengals’ rights to ask Reid such questions.Reid has been kneeling during the national anthem since signing with the Panthers and even got into an altercation with Eagles safety Malcom Jenkins on Sunday before their game. It was related to his protests and support of Kaepernick.Per NFL.com Kevin Huber Jersey , Reid’s attorney Mark Geragos had no comment on the decision. The NFL and NFLPA also did not have any immediate reaction either.UPDATE: The NFLPA has released the following statement regarding the NFL arbitrator’s decision on Reid. Auden Tate took a big hit on Sunday against the Raiders, but is already on the path to recovery.“He was on the plane last night,” Zac Taylor said, via the Enquirer. “We were able to talk to him.”It was also reported last night that Tate wore a neck brace on the plane. Given the circumstances Clint Boling Jersey , it is good to see how quickly he was an and out of the hospital.The Enquirer also reported that Tate suffered a concussion and a cervical strain. He has already been placed in concussion protocol, but the cervical strain could possibly sideline Tate for the rest of the season.Tate is the Bengals’ second-leading receiver with 483 yards on 34 catches. This injury could end up being a huge blow for his career, given how much chemistry he appeared to have with Ryan Finley this preseason. This missed opportunity is a huge roadblock for a player who was had such an incredible story so far in his young career.
