Cowboys Set Tributes and Support Fund as They Ready for First Game Since Kneeland’s Death

Dallas has organized tributes alongside a memorial fund to support Catalina Mancera.

Overview

  • The team faces the Raiders in Las Vegas on Monday, its first game since Marshawn Kneeland, 24, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound on Nov. 6.
  • Players will wear a helmet decal for the rest of the season and special warmup shirts, with a moment of silence and video tribute slated for the Nov. 22 home game against the Eagles.
  • Head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the Cowboys will honor Kneeland with how they play and described a private candlelight vigil and ongoing counseling for players and staff.
  • Schottenheimer confirmed that Kneeland’s girlfriend, Catalina Mancera, is pregnant, and the club launched the Marshawn Kneeland Memorial Fund to support her and the unborn child.
  • Dak Prescott and Solomon Thomas spoke about grief and mental health, with Thomas urging broader awareness and resources as teammates return to practice with Kneeland on their minds.
