科林·卡佩尼克准备再次上场。
In an Instagram post on Tuesday, rapper J. Cole shared a copy of a letter that Kaepernick, 35, wrote to New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas requesting to join the practice squad. Kaepernick's lawyer confirmed to PEOPLE that the letter was from the quarterback.
周二，说唱歌手J在Instagram上发帖。科尔分享了35岁的卡佩尼克写给纽约喷气机队总经理乔·道格拉斯的一封信的副本，请求加入训练队。卡佩尼克的律师向《人物》杂志证实，这封信来自四分卫。
"I asked Colin @kaepernick7 if I could share this letter with the world. He was reluctant," explained the musician, 38, in the post's caption. "My argument was that I believe the people and all organizations should know the truth about how hard he works and how much he still wants to play. And always has. In the end, he agreed to let me."
这位38岁的音乐家在帖子的标题中解释道：“我问Colin@kaepernick7我是否可以与全世界分享这封信。他很不情愿。”“我的论点是，我相信人们和所有组织都应该知道他工作有多努力，他还有多想打球的真相。而且一直都是这样。最后，他同意让我上场。”
Kaepernick last played in the NFL as a member of the San Francisco 49ers during the 2016 season. When the national anthem played at the beginning of each game, Kaepernick began taking a knee to protest racial injustice and police brutality.
卡佩尼克上一次作为旧金山49人队成员参加NFL是在2016赛季。当每场比赛开始播放国歌时，卡佩尼克开始跪下抗议种族不公正和警察暴行。
While he received support from some of his fellow athletes in what was referred to as the #TakeAKnee movement, he also received backlash, causing him to opt out of his contract in March 2017.
虽然他在所谓的#TakeAKnee运动中得到了一些运动员同伴的支持，但他也遭到了强烈反对，导致他在2017年3月选择退出合同。
In his letter dated Sept. 21, Kaepernick expressed his desire to join the Jets organization and "lead the practice squad."
在9月21日的信中，卡佩尼克表达了加入喷气机队组织并“领导训练队”的愿望
"I would do this with the sole mission of getting your defense ready each week," he wrote. "If I were able to fill this role for the team, I believe this allows for multiple things."
他写道：“我这样做的唯一任务是每周为你的辩护做好准备。”。“如果我能为团队担任这个角色，我相信这可以做很多事情。”
Kaepernick explained that he was reaching out to the organization "in response to the unfortunate loss of Aaron Rodgers."
卡佩尼克解释说，他正在联系该组织，“以回应亚伦·罗杰斯的不幸去世。”
Rodgers, 39, tore his left Achilles tendon during the Jets' season opener. While he underwent a successful surgery following the injury, he announced in a post on Instagram that it had taken him out of action for the remainder of the season.
39岁的罗杰斯在喷气机队赛季揭幕战中左脚跟腱撕裂。虽然他在受伤后成功地接受了手术，但他在Instagram上发帖宣布，这让他在本赛季余下的时间里无法参加比赛。
"I know the aspirations this season were, and still are, to win a championship, and so that Hall of Fame sized hole will need to be filled as best as possible to keep the team on a Super Bowl track," wrote Kaepernick.
卡佩尼克写道：“我知道本赛季的愿望是，现在仍然是，赢得总冠军，因此，名人堂大小的漏洞需要尽可能地填补，以使球队保持在超级碗的轨道上。”
While he shared that he understands "Zach Wilson is charged with the task" of being the team's starting quarterback, he said he was offering the team a "risk-free contingency plan" by joining the practice squad.
虽然他表示，他理解“扎克·威尔逊肩负着成为球队首发四分卫的任务”，但他表示，加入训练队是在为球队提供“无风险的应急计划”。
"I am sure of my ability to provide you with an elite QB option if, God forbid, QB1 goes down," wrote Kaepernick. "However, I know that there may naturally be uncertainties from you and possibly from others about my playing abilities. This plan, I believe, allows me to be of great service to the team as a practice squad QB while also giving you a low-commitment chance to assess my capabilities to help in any other capacity you may see fit."
Kaepernick写道：“如果QB1失败，我相信我有能力为你提供一个精英QB选项。”。“然而，我知道，你和其他人对我的比赛能力自然会有不确定性。我相信，这个计划让我作为训练队QB为球队提供了很好的服务，同时也让你有一个低承诺的机会来评估我的能力，以帮助你发挥你认为合适的任何其他能力。”
Kaepernick ended his letter to Douglas by stating that he has maintained the same training schedule for six years and included a list of individuals in the NFL who would vouch for his "character, work ethic, and ability."
卡佩尼克在给道格拉斯的信的结尾说，他六年来一直保持着同样的训练计划，并列出了一份NFL中为他的“性格、职业道德和能力”提供担保的个人名单。
