Philadelphia Eagles defensive backs Malcolm Jenkins and De'Vante Bausby remained in the tunnel during the national anthem a week after raising their fist in protest in the exhibition opener.

Defensive lineman Michael Bennett remained in the locker room.

Jenkins and Bennett have been among the most vocal players protesting racial inequality during the pregame playing of the ''Star-Spangled Banner.''

The NFL Network tweeted a video of Jenkins coming out for warmups wearing a shirt that said, ''YOU AREN'T LISTENING.''

There were no player protests before the other two preseason games in Landover, Maryland, and Green Bay
