The bulk of the Oakland Raiders team chose to sit during the national anthem ahead of their Week 3 game against the Washington Redskins.

One player who didn't, though, was quarterback Derek Carr. Some fans made quite a big deal about it after the Raiders struggled, and a few even suggested that the offensive line had some type of issue with Carr not sitting during the anthem.

Fortunately, thanks to some strong investigative work from RaidersBeat.com, lineman Kelechi Osemele squashed that rumor incredibly fast on his Instagram account.

After someone asked the following: “Did y’all really let Carr get sacked on purpose or is it bs? Cause there’s tons of talk among raiders fans about it. Be cool if you laid that to rest.”

Osemele responded, courtesy of RaidersBeat.com:

“If you guys really believe that… I don’t even know what to tell you. Carr is our brother he fully supported our decision to make this statement we discussed as a TEAM and we all have each other’s back. We’re back focused on working now end of discussion.”

It's good to see Osemele shut that down hard and fast. Now, hopefully, we can see the entire offense bounce back in a big way in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos.
