While many players from the New England Patriots kneeled during the national anthem just a week ago, causing widespread backlash from fans, a source has said they will stand together as a team for their next game.

According to CSNNE’s Gary Tanguay, a host and screenwriter for the network, an unnamed source told him of the new development.

“All Patriot players will stand this Sunday during the National Anthem, a league source told me,” Tanguay said in a Sept. 26 tweet.
