Colin Kaepernick just got a pretty big win in his case against the NFL. 

In October 2017, the quarterback filed a grievance against the league and all 32 teams. He says they colluded to keep him off every roster because of his protests during the national anthem. 

The league filed a request to dismiss the complaint, but on Thursday an arbitrator denied that request.

So now, Kaepernick's complaint will move ahead to a trial-like hearing. A date for that hearing wasn't immediately available.
