Fisher said all questions on the topic should be directed to Rams vice president of football operations Kevin Demoff. Demoff could not be reached immediately for comment.

Fisher said he has not spoken with the five players who made the "Hands Up" gesture, but will. He said the players "made the choice to exercise their free speech (Sunday)."

Fisher also said he will not discipline any of the players.

The players who made the now-familiar "Hands Up" gesture included Tavon Austin, Stedman Bailey, Kenny Britt, Jared Cook and Chris Givens. They hatched the idea before the game.

“Kenny Britt told me he was doing it, and some of the other guys were doing it,” Cook said. “So we all just hopped on the bandwagon and came up with the idea of how we were going to do it.”

On Sunday, Fisher said he didn’t see the gesture and was unaware of it.

“I didn’t know anything about it. I was still in the tunnel,” Fisher said.

Britt said he didn’t want to bother Fisher before the game by telling him of the plans.
