Jaguars receivers wear 'I Can't Breathe' shirts during warm-ups

Receivers for the Jacksonville Jaguars and defensive end Ryan Davis wore ''I Can't Breathe'' T-shirts during warmups before their Thursday night game against the Tennessee Titans.

The black T-shirts with white print were worn over their long-sleeved warm-up gear on a cool night in Jacksonville.

The slogan refers to Eric Garner, who died after a New York police officer placed him in a chokehold during an arrest for selling loose cigarettes. A grand jury decided not to indict the officer. A video of the arrest showed Garner gasping, ''I can't breathe.''
