Cowboys Establish Memorial Fund, Plan Season-Long Tributes After Marshawn Kneeland’s Death

The team created a memorial fund to support Catalina Mancera and their unborn child.

Overview

  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer confirmed the Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund, with players saying they want Mancera and the baby cared for long term.
  • Authorities say Kneeland, 24, was found dead Nov. 6 from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police pursuit in Frisco, with dispatch logs reflecting family concerns for his safety.
  • The Cowboys will wear a helmet decal for the rest of the season, don special warm-up T-shirts, and hold a moment of silence and video tribute before their Nov. 22 home game against the Eagles.
  • Dallas held a private candlelight vigil, met with grief counselors, and returned to practice, with Schottenheimer noting, “We don’t move on, but we do move forward.”
  • Players cited honoring Kneeland through effort and unity as they prepare for Monday night’s road game against the Raiders, their first since his death.
