The Los Angeles Chargers postponed their scheduled scrimmage on Thursday in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake by police officers on Sunday in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn made the announcement on NFL Network hours before practice was set to begin at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.

“This football team is committed to fighting for a championship and social justice,” Lynn said Thursday on the NFL Network.

Lynn also told NFL Network that he and his players discussed the Jacob Blake shooting moments before they made the announcement.

“We just had a team meeting right now and we're not going to scrimmage today. We're going to do something different. I thought what we did in the locker room an hour ago was 10 times more powerful than what we could've done on the football field today.”

At the end of his interview with NFL Network, Lynn made a reference to Kyle Rittenhouse, the teenager from Illinois charged Wednesday with first-degree intentional homicide after two people were killed by gunfire at the Kenosha protests. Lynn said that he didn't think that was fair to Jacob Blake, so he's going to continue to have social justice conversations with his team.

The Chargers weren't the only team in the NFL to cancel their practice on Thursday. Several other teams, including the Baltimore Ravens, San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears, and Green Bay Packers, all canceled their practices on Thursday in protest of the Jacob Blake shooting and the racial injustice that continues around the country.
