UPDATE: CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora clarified that he did not speak to Colin Kaepernick about standing for the national anthem specifically.

Wanted to clarify one thing regarding @Kaepernick7. When I was asked about his whether or not he would sit or stand for anthem ... — Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) October 8, 2017

Standing for Anthem wasn't something that I spoke to Colin about sat. I relayed what had been reported about him standing in the future... — Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) October 8, 2017

Reports about @Kaepernick7 standing for anthem had not been refuted. However, I cant say if they are true or not. Colin and I didn't discuss — Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) October 8, 2017

Colin would have to address any future demonstrations. I didn't ask him if he would sit or stand. Our chat primarily about his will to play — Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) October 8, 2017

I know @Kaepernick7 is fully committed to playing football and helping those in need. What he would do during the Anthem I do not know — Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) October 8, 2017

Original story:

An interesting report about Colin Kaepernick from CBS NFL insider Jason La Canfora on Sunday's "The NFL Today": Kaepernick will stand for the national anthem if an NFL team signs him this season.

Kaepernick has stayed mostly silent during his free agency in 2017, only speaking indirectly through NFL insiders such as La Canfora, Cris Carter of FS1 and Adam Schefter of ESPN. La Canfora did not provide video or audio of his interview with Kaepernick, but the reporter shared his finding with CBS' James Brown on Sunday.

Said La Canfora on Kaepernick: "He’s not planning on kneeling. He's going to donate all his jersey sales. He’s planning on standing for the anthem if given the opportunity."

Some other details shared by La Canfora:

— Kaepernick is working out religiously in the New York-area. He gets up at 4 a.m. ET to throw 100-plus passes a day at an undisclosed field in New Jersey, then returns to New York City to work out at the gym.

— Kaepernick doesn't want to go on camera because he thinks he would be labeled a "distraction" by NFL GMs looking for quarterbacks. His agent continues to talk with various clubs to try to get him back on an NFL field this season.

— Kaepernick pleased and proud that other NFL players and athletes have joined his protest against racial injustice. But Kaepernick has not been involved in the talks between players and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
