Denver Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall has taken to Instagram to explain his decision to stand for the US national anthem after kneeling in previous weeks. Marshall began kneeling as part of the NFL anthem protest which was started by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick at the beginning of the season and has since been taken up by players around the league.However, after meeting with the Denver police department Marshall has decided to reverse course and he stood by Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak prior to the teams 30-20 loss to the Raiders in Oakland on Sunday night. On the television broadcast, NBC sideline reporter Michele Tafoya said Kubiak stood beside Marshall because he wanted to show his own support for his player. According to Tafoya, Kubiak said he was proud of Marshall expressing his feelings and how he dealt with the backlash. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ?￡6.99. No contract. In his statement, Marshall said: For the first half of the season, Ive been taking a knee for the National Anthem to raise awareness for social injustice and to start conversation about what all of us can do to make a positive change.Im encouraged with the many productive discussions and progress that has taken place as the Denver Police department has decided to review its use of force policy. Im proud to have joined so many of my peers throughout sports whove also made their own statements.Going forward, I will be standing for the National Anthem - not because everything is perfect, or because Im changing my stance on things. But because of my hope for what we can become. Just because I am standing doesnt mean the work will end. Theres much work to be done. Ill continue to recognise and support organisations that are stepping up as leaders and making a real difference in our community, and I will do my part to be there for those in need. Brandon Marshall kneeling during the US national anthem earlier in the season Marshall also singled out the Idriss Stelley Foundation, which offers support to victims of police violence, as an organisation he will be supporting.The 27-year-old explained he will be standing for them and the late OShaine Evans, an Oakland man who was shot and killed by a San Francisco police officer in 2014.Marshall continued: One of those organisations is the Idriss Stelley Foundation, a grassroots organisation in the Bay Area that offer free support to victims of police violence. Ill be standing for them and the family of the late OShaine Evans on Sunday night in addition to making a donation from my Tackle Change program to further the meaningful work of this group.I really appreciate the support from my family, team-mates, coaches and fans. Im grateful for those who have taken the time to hear me out.Im excited for what all of us can accomplish when we truly work together. Also See: RESULT: Week 10 game choice WATCH: Worst rabona ever?

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- For Chip Kelly and Blaine Gabbert, this season is about a second chance at NFL success.After being run off from his first NFL coaching job in Philadelphia, Kelly took over in San Francisco and has picked another reclamation project in Gabbert as his starting quarterback for the 49ers.Gabbert, who took over as the starter in San Francisco midway through last season, begins a season in that role for the first time since 2013, which was his third and final season in Jacksonville after being the 10th overall pick in 2011.Gabbert beat out Colin Kaepernick for the job, staying mostly in the background as Kaepernick made big headlines with his protest over the national anthem.Thats one thing you like about Blaines makeup, there are not too-high highs or too-low lows, Kelly said. Hes very steady in his approach. You get the same Blaine Gabbert every day and I think thats a good thing, especially at the quarterback position.The problem for the Niners is that the Gabbert from the last five years has been far from special. He has just an 8-27 record as a starter in the NFL, completing only 55.8 percent of his passes with 33 touchdowns and 31 interceptions.That kind of play led Jacksonville to trade him to San Francisco three years after drafting him. Gabbert looked a little better last season with the 49ers when he completed 63.1 percent of his passes and posted a career-high 86.2 passer rating in eight starts.The Niners hope for even better results this season in Kellys quarterback-friendly system that helped players such as Nick Foles and Mark Sanchez have perhaps their most success as pros. That wasnt enough for Kelly to keep his job with the Eagles, but Gabbert is excited about the opportunity to run that fast-paced offense.Coach Kelly puts a lot of trust in us to go out there and make the plays, Gabbert said. Thats what you want as a competitive player. You want to have the ball in your hands. You want to be kind of leaned on to make the plays, score the points for this team. And thats what this offense does. It puts guys in position to have explosive plays.Here are some other things to watch this season for the 49ers:CATCH THE BALL: No matter who is at quarterback this season, finding proven players to throw the ball to will be a problemm.dddddddddddd Torrey Smith was the only wideout on the roster with even 40 career catches before a couple of late trades added Jeremy Kerley and Rod Streater. Kerley had just 16 catches last season for the Jets and Rod Streater has only 10 receptions the past two years. Smith has been a good deep threat for much of his career, but the Niners lack a true No. 1 receiver.DAVIS RETURN: The 49ers dealt with a string of retirements last offseason with Patrick Willis, Justin Smith, Chris Borland and Anthony Davis all deciding to call it quits. Davis proved to be temporary as he decided to come back at the start of training camp, giving a boost to San Franciscos offensive line. After being a stellar right tackle his first five years, Davis has moved to right guard this season for the first time since college with Trent Brown entrenched at tackle.DUCKS ON THE LINE: Kelly will have a couple familiar faces on the defensive line as GM Trent Baalke used his top draft picks each of the past two years on former Oregon linemen who had played for Kelly in college. Arik Armstead had just two sacks as a rookie last year, but is expected to make a much bigger impact in 2016. No. 7 overall pick DeForest Buckner has the potential to be dominant against the run and a strong pass rusher, giving the Niners a foundation for their defense.RUN TO DAYLIGHT: The Niners have one potential game-breaker on offense in third-year running back Carlos Hyde -- if he can stay healthy. Hyde showed his potential when he rushed for 168 yards in the opener last season. But he added only 302 more in six games before being shut down with a foot injury. Hydes downhill running style fits well in Kellys system.BOWMAN THE BEAST: Inside linebacker NaVorro Bowman is one of the few links left from the dominant defense that helped lead San Francisco to three straight NFC championship games from 2011-13. After sitting out 2014 with a knee injury, Bowman returned last season and made the All-Pro team despite looking like he had lost a step. But he has looked more explosive this summer and is poised for another big year.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
