The players are reportedly hammering out the details, which should be figured out by Sunday. From running back Mark Ingram, the desire is for it to be something from the entire team. Ingram spoke to the importance of equality as a motivating factor behind the gesture.

"That’s what makes our country beautiful: We can come here, we can be free," Ingram said. "We just need that equality amongst everybody. It hurts my heart to see stuff going on, people get murdered, difficulty happening; protests happening, violent protests, that’s not the way to do things. We all need to come together, and until we all realize that there is an issue, and acknowledge that there is an issue, nothing will be fixed."

Teammates Dannell Ellerbe, Willie Snead, Cameron Jordan, and Kenny Vaccaro were just some of the many who took to social media following the shootings of Terence Crutcher in Tulsa and Keith Scott in Charlotte.
