Colin Kaepernick won the summary judgment phase (https://sports.yahoo.com/crucial-hearing-colin-kaepernicks-grievance-vs-nfl-begins-162805447.html) of his collusion case against the NFL, a ruling that allows his grievance to continue against the league.

The NFL requested a summary judgement ruling from arbitrator Stephen Burbank, saying that Kaepernick’s legal team, after the discovery phase of the grievance process, hadn’t reached the standard to prove that the league and its owners colluded to keep Kaepernick out of pro football.

Since he opted out of his contract in March 2017 with the San Francisco 49ers, Kapernick hasn’t landed with a team, sitting out all of last season.
