The Washington NFL franchise will announce it will retire its "Redskins" moniker on Monday, multiple outlets are reporting.
The move comes less than two weeks after FedEx, the company that owns the naming rights to the stadium the team plays in asked the franchise to change the nickname.
A new name is not expected to be announced right away, as copyrights are pending.
The team had announced on July 3rd a "thorough review" process was being conducted. The team's moniker had long been decried as racist.
