The New England Patriots will send a representative to free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s workout this Saturday, according to a report from the Boston Globe.
Coach Bill Belichick told reporters earlier on Wednesday he did not know if the Patriots would be attending Kaepernick’s workout, which was organized by the NFL.
“It’s something we can check with Nick (Caserio) on,” Belichick said, referencing the franchise’s director of player personnel. “I’m not sure.”
Kaepernick has been out of the league since 2016 when he began protesting police brutality and racial issues by kneeling during the national anthem.
The Patriots declined to comment in regards to being in attendance.
The NFL put together a workout for Kaepernick and informed him of the potential meeting with teams on Tuesday. It’s unclear how many franchises will attend the workout, but current Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores confirmed his team will be present.
