McNair was criticized after an ESPN story quoted him comparing players protesting during the anthem to "inmates running the prison."
After learning of the comment, DeAndre Hopkins was a no-show at practice Friday and a number of players considered walking out of the facility. The full roster made the trip to Seattle, and most players opted to take a knee during the anthem against the Seahawks.
