New England Patriots taking a knee during the national anthem appears to be a one-week thing.

According to CSNNE's Gary Tanguay, all members of the team will stand this Sunday during the anthem prior to their Week 4 contest with the Carolina Panthers.

Over a dozen Patriots players including Devin McCourty, Brandin Cooks and Duron Harmon elected to take knee during the anthem before their matchup with the Houston Texans following President Donald Trump's comments saying that whoever takes a knee during the anthem should be fired while also referred to them as a "son of a b****."

Taking a knee drew criticism from many Gillette Stadium goers as boos could be heard from fans along with hollering to stand up.

Universally all the Patriots who chose to kneel have come out and said that the intent wasn't to disrespect the military or veterans in any way despite some, including former Patriots offensive lineman Matt Light, taking it that way.

What will be interesting to see is if the team will still do something in line of a protest/sign of solidarity during the anthem that doesn't include kneeling. Players who were not kneeling last Sunday, like Tom Brady, interlocked arms with one another while standing.

The Patriots will take on the Panthers this Sunday at Gillette Stadium with kickoff set for 1:00 p.m. ET.
