Pouncey: Steelers will 'do the right thing,' stand for anthem
Alejandro Villanueva won't stand alone during the national anthem Sunday, according to teammate Maurkice Pouncey.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, save for Villanueva, stayed in the locker room in Week 3 as most of the rest of the league took part in widespread protests.
However, with the likes of Ben Roethlisberger saying he regrets the decision, Pouncey confirmed the entire Steelers team will stand for "The Star-Spangled Banner" prior to the matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.
"Pittsburgh Steelers will go out there and do the right thing," Pouncey said, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Villanueva said Monday he regrets making his teammates look unpatriotic by being the only Steeler to come out for the anthem.
"Unfortunately, I threw my teammates under the bus, unintentionally," he said. "Every single time I see that picture of me standing by myself, I feel embarrassed."
