Cowboys Release Tribute Video, Detail Season-Long Honors for Marshawn Kneeland

The organization outlined memorial plans following police reports that he died by apparent suicide after a traffic stop.

Overview

  • Jerry Jones spoke publicly for the first time, calling the loss devastating and praising an emotional team meeting facilitated by coach Brian Schottenheimer with therapists present.
  • Dallas will wear a helmet decal for the rest of the season and commemorative warmup shirts for the next two games, with a video tribute and moment of silence planned for the Nov. 23 home game.
  • The Cowboys posted a team-produced tribute video on Nov. 12 as players and staff continue to grieve and receive counseling support.
  • Authorities say Kneeland fled a traffic stop, his vehicle was later found crashed and abandoned, and he was discovered dead hours afterward of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
  • Dispatch recordings reported a group text saying goodbye and a warning from his girlfriend about suicidal ideation, while the NFL directed leaguewide moments of silence and promoted mental-health resources.
