Owens also sent out a tweet Wednesday encouraging people to sign a petition calling for the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell to apologize to Kaepernick.

The passer began kneeling during the national anthem in 2016 to protest police brutality and racial injustice. He has remained a free agent since March 2017.
