Nike will air a new "Just Do It" commercial featuring quarterback Colin Kaepernick during the NFL's season-opening game Thursday between the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons, according to ESPN's Darren Rovell.
Kaepernick voices the commercial - which also features LeBron James and Serena Williams - and is revealed at the end of the ad.
